YEAR OF NO LIGHT

About Me

Year of no light started after too many belgian beers under the sun of the ending summer of 2001. Slightly but undoubtly it slid down to gloomier atmospheres as the inherent chaos of Bordeaux's caves and harshness of winter made their common work. As the line-up was getting solid around the 5 actual members escaped from acts as Metronome charisma, Deja mort and Nexus sun the band clarified their intentions and started to build the basis of what would be their first demo recorded in 2004 before touring spain for some dates.
More and more shows were played with bands such as Isis, Moho, Fennesz, Born dead Icons, Lack, Explosions in the sky, High on fire or Unsane. The rather general critical acclaim of the demo quoting them as being "The Cure playing sludge" combined with live reviews becoming more and more encouraging compeled the band into the writing of new tracks that would finally end up being recorded at Rec studio under the direction of Serge Morratel in the fall of 2005. A year later this material ends up as a 2LP on E-vinyl & Atropine and as a cd on Radar swarm.
