Limited coloured vinyl reissue of 40 Watt Sun's second album (2016). "Wider Than The Sky" comprises six beautiful songs that speak to the very essence of humanity and delve below the surface of relationships and sadness and loss. The weight of the album is executed in a different way than it would have been in Patrick Walker's previous band, Warning.
Where the electric buzz of the guitar or the crunchiness of the bass created the atmosphere for the seminal doom band, 40 Watt Sun use words and experience to create an aura of loss - yet, there's pale hope etched across the songs. While the words echo with melancholy, the beats holding a little brightness, and resonant guitars spinning walls of sentiment, Walker's voice is lifted from its previous lows to allow subtle moments of optimism to filter through.
"Wider Than The Sky" is an affecting listen; a sparser, stripped back affair compared to "The Inside Room", pushing Patrick’'s voice to the forefront. His scars are bared for all to hear and to experience, speak to anyone who has suffered heartbreak; a necessary catharsis. A beautiful presentation of honesty, dreams, sadness and passion.
Double 'crystal clear' vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with 8-page booklet.
