‘Atmosphere’ and ‘mood’: in relation to Solarstone’s upcoming (May 2025) artist LP, ‘innermost’, they’re going to be two descriptives you’ll be hearing a lot of.
Overturing the album itself, opening its singles account (and indeed the first track Solarstone completed for ‘innermost’) is ‘shivelight’. With it, he affords a first look/listen at a longplayer that differs in structure, tone and feel from any that have come before it.
The single is Richard’s musical encapsulation of the shivelight effect, the one created when shafts of sunlight filter through trees, creating a dappled or shimmering result.
Shadowed by his pads and chords, it opens to deep, resonant baritone guitar strums, which callback to the hook of ‘Falling’ – Julee Cruise’s timeless Twin Peaks theme. Wistful sub-melodies hauntingly echo the call of its siren song harmonies, while breakbeats reinforce the track’s sombre etherealism. As it progresses, delicate fleeting notes break through its otherworldly shade, bringing the track an innate feeling of ‘hope being kept alive’.
Today’s the day ‘shivelight’ sees the light. You can find it through all the finest sales and streaming platforms ‘here’. [blackhole.lnk.to/shivelight]
