Neils Children - Dimly Lit

by Neils Children

supported by

Saucer Many echoes of Birmingham's late psychedelic iconoclasts Broadcast in this surprisingly heady new album. (The song I picked as favorite here is probably the least reminiscent of that band, though.)

After a couple of listens I'm thinking album of the year (2013) contender. Favorite track: Trust You.

about

Four years since the last Neil's Children release, founder members John Linger and Brandon Jacobs decamped to southern France to create what they claim to be their best work to date.

The new album 'Dimly Lit' delves deeper into the personal music tastes of the group, pulling together a sound that owes much to their love of psychedelic music past and present, whilst retaining the urgency of their previous work.

Throughout the album there are aural fragments of the sophisticated French pop melodies of Gainsbourg's late 1960s/early 1970s output, alongside the experimentation of groups such as Broadcast, Stereolab and Silver Apples.

The 11 tracks featured on the album draw you through the NC created world of lysergic pop, pushing your ears and senses to the limit while ensuring you stay grounded with beautiful melody.

Now including 2 unreleased tracks "Aimless Focus" and "As Time Revolves (In Dub)" coming along with the digital download of the album.

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin

Very strong debut album (and one of their best) by this fantastic band from Italy. Picking a favourite track was very hard. Papa Jay (Radio Smorgasbord)
