Remember, remember, your future cartoon is as soft as the tarot!"... perfectly unfolds like a darkly entrancing folktale that seethes and swirls with so much mystery, depth, poetry, and hidden meaning... " -Brainwashed"The Light Is Leaving Us All" is a haunting, visionary CD album by the cult project Current 93, released here in a carefully produced edition by SPHERES. Built around David Tibet's unmistakable voice, the album weaves spoken-word incantations, apocalyptic folk, and spectral soundscapes into a deeply poetic meditation on mortality, memory, and the strange beauty of the world's ending. Sparse acoustic arrangements, drones, and subtly distorted textures create an atmosphere that is both intimate and otherworldly, inviting the listener into a sonic ritual rather than a conventional listening experience. The recurring motifs of light, shadow, and departure give the album a powerful conceptual arc, making it a work that rewards repeated, attentive listening.
As a band, Current 93 has long occupied a unique position in experimental and apocalyptic folk music. Led by David Tibet, they have developed a highly distinctive artistic language that blends esoteric themes, visionary poetry, and minimalist instrumentation. Across decades of activity, Current 93 has exerted a strong influence on neofolk, industrial, and avant-garde scenes, collaborating with a wide range of notable artists and earning a devoted international following. Their releases are often considered milestones within underground music circles, and "The Light Is Leaving Us All" stands among their most mature and emotionally resonant works.
SPHERES, as the manufacturer of this edition, focuses on high-quality, carefully curated physical releases. Known for giving special attention to artwork, packaging, and pressing quality, SPHERES aims to preserve the tactile and collectible character of music on CD in an era dominated by digital formats. By pairing a singularly intense album like "The Light Is Leaving Us All" with a thoughtful physical presentation, SPHERES underlines the enduring value of the album as a complete artistic object, not just a collection of tracks. |
