Dominic Appleton, known since the early 80's as the vocalist in post punk / dream pop band Breathless, and the legendary This Mortal Coil project (4AD), joins forces with the Milanese producer and sound artist Matteo Uggeri (Open To The Sea, Sparkle In Grey).

Starlight Assembly's first album, "Starlight and Still Air" (2021, Beacon Sound) was widely-acclaimed, and followed after by a remix project featuring Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Auscultation, Gabriel Saloman (Yellow Swans), Sawako and Pan American, and more.

The new album, "There Will Be Fireworks", continues the duo's complex cross-genre approach to music by melding Uggeri's intricate musical textures with Appleton's sweet and melancholic melodies, supported by the haunting guitars of Gary Mundy (Ramleh, Kleistwahr, Broken Flag boss). The tracks here are more songlike, the journey more cohesive, with the artists playing more to one another's strengths.

Mastered by Martin Bowes (Attrition). Ltd x 100 copies on 140gm transparent vinyl. Includes a postcard signed by both artists and a full-size, double-sided insert with photos by Riccardo Diotallevi and Jeff Dungfelder. VERY FEW COPIES IN STOCK!
