Failing Lights - Stay Absent

Review by Widya Walesa

Failing Lights, the experimental music project of Mike Connelly, has released its latest album, Stay Absent, and it is a haunting and mesmerizing journey into the depths of ambient drone and noise music. The album is a sonic exploration of isolation, loss, and the many shades of darkness that can engulf us.

The tracks on Stay Absent are built around layers of droning soundscapes, with subtle shifts in texture and tone that create a sense of unease and tension. The album's opening track, "The Silent Divide," sets the tone with its slow, creeping drones and distant, distorted vocals.

Other tracks, such as "A World Without End" and "The Absent," use more abrasive and harsh sounds to create a sense of disorientation and chaos. But even in these moments of noise and dissonance, there is a sense of purpose and intentionality to the music.

The album's title track, "Stay Absent," is a standout moment. Its pulsing rhythms and hypnotic melodies create a sense of propulsion and movement, while still maintaining the overall mood of the album.
