Rls Notes
The overriding atmosphere that Aurora summons
up is warmer and more utopian one than the
more foreboding realm of their 2007 Rise
Above debut Planetfall, a landscape where
glorious cascades of mellotron collide with
kaleidoscopic synthesizer textures, all atop
a bedrock of driving riffage that owes as
much to the gritty edge of The Who or the
motorik drive of Neu! as if does to Warrior
On The Edge Of Time-era Hawkwind. What's
more, whilst there are no shortages to be had
of the full-throttle, longform jamming
wig-outs that have become Litmus trademark,
the vistas that Aurora brings forth also
encompass kosmische instrumental passages
like the gloriously blissed-out Eos, the
Voviod-meets-Robert Calvert sci-fi-punk
avalanche of Stars and arguably the album's
centrepiece, the Spiritualized-tinged mantric
dronerock nirvana of Kings Of Infinite
Space.Regaining the outlaw spirit,
adventurous joie-de-vivre and widescreen
sweep of their forebears, yet setting their
course for the starry unknown, Litmus are
surfing a maverick pathway twixt the lysergic
dreams of yore and the accelerating intensity
of the future. Space cadets old and new,
embark. You have nothing to lose but your
inhibitions.
