Fell into the fault lines Strains of the day You're carrying your grudges Uphill both ways And I thought there'd be more harmony But now we sing to mourn The place where your dying love was born Keeping track Is just a way to keep on sparring Breathe and count to ten Changing course, The river forks You flow on alone again Step out of the shadows Let down your guard Walk down to the river And bathe under the stars In nature is perfection Paint your dreams goldenrod But nothing's as real as your facade Take it back And try to mean it when you say you're sorry Learn how to unbend Changing course, The river forks You flow on alone again

Seattle's Guest Directors return with their second EP, "Captured in the Light" - four songs of swirling guitars, powerful rhythms, and catchy female and male vocals entwined throughout. Get lost as Marr-inspired jangles combine with delicate pedal-dancing to create a mesmerizing melodic drift. Occasional odd time signatures tease expectations and keep you engaged in an evolving tension of harmony and imbalance. It's a confident amalgamation of sounds generated with a nod to the pensive and melancholy that would sit comfortably in a collection alongside Swervedriver, Sonic Youth, Echo and the Bunnymen, and a slew of artists from the 4AD catalog.

Sound envelops and surrounds - this newest mix is a must for your headphone-privileged ears.
