Blindness & Light’s Self Titled Album Is Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
Blindness & Light’s self-titled album is finally here…a wonderful musical experience.
Blindness & Light’s Self Titled Album Is Out Now
This musical project fascinated me from the first time I heard it.
I like this collaboration between friends and family to compose music that has the ability to inspire the listener.
The winds and melodies are epic and manage to instill hope which is why I believe this album is therapeutic in such a dark time for the world.
With this debut album Blindness & Light demonstrates all his compositional skills. Melodies and chord progressions made me think of legendary artists like David Bowie.
One of the things I like the most is that you feel the magical alchemy between everyone who has participated in this project.
The vision is fantastic. If you close your eyes while listening to these songs you feel above the clouds and like Blindness & Light sings in one of his songs…you are free.
I recommend listening to the album several times to fully immerse yourself in the musical universe created for us by Blindness & Light.
Blindness & Light’s Self Titled Album Is Out Now!
Marvellous!
Blindness & Light’s Self Titled Album Is Out Now
Inspired by the 80s post-punk movement, Blindness & Light bring the spirit of the era into the modern day with cutting-edge production and technical fidelity blended with the artist’s vulnerable and emotive musical style.
Blindness & Light’s daughter Elise S. Potter provides the bass, her friend plays the trumpet, and another family friend Helen Reynolds provides the rich backing vocals.
The Ballad of Them And Us – released February 27th, 2023 – brings on former The Christians member Henry Priestman (highest selling Island Record debut album) who plays additional harmonica alongside Colin’s. Henry plays melodica on this track too. He also remixed the single release to create the Ynys Môn mix which is on the album. The song bursts open with powerful harmonica that paves the way for the upbeat and high-energy single that still retains Blindness & Light’s signature style.
The debut album, and Blindness & Light’s musical journey as a whole, is an inspirational story in its own right. Following a devastating hit and run that left the artist for dead, Blindness & Light re-evaluated his life’s direction. Since then he has completed his PhD in environmental biotechnology and now stands on the precipice of his debut album release.
Blindness & Light is also working alongside Mike Juvenile (KEEF) on their side project Radio Psychosis. The band will be releasing their single Television later this year.
Blindness & Light will be available across all digital platforms on July 1st, 2023, available on CD and limited run of 100 vinyl released alongside. Physical copies available on Bandcamp, Mudshark Records, 81 Renshaw St, Liverpool and The Vinyl Exchange, Manchester. Merch available on Amazon worldwide.
