By Sunlight - Penumbra

Review by Brad Garland

By Sunlight's album Penumbra is a mesmerizing collection of dreamy post-rock tracks that are sure to captivate any listener. The band's skillful use of guitar effects, intricate drum patterns, and ethereal vocals create a hauntingly beautiful sound that is both atmospheric and emotive.

The album's opening track "Aurora" sets the tone with its slow-building, ambient soundscapes that gradually lead into a sweeping crescendo of distorted guitars and crashing cymbals. The following tracks, such as "Nimbus" and "Eclipse," continue to build on this theme, with soaring melodies and intricate rhythms that keep the listener engaged.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Penumbra," which features a haunting vocal performance by lead singer, Sarah. Her voice floats above the mix, adding an otherworldly quality to the already mesmerizing instrumentation.
