INFINITE LIGHT LTD. - Infinite Light Ltd.

2011 (Denovali)
dark-ambient, drone-folk
by Andrea Vascellari

Infinite Light Ltd. è il progetto di Nathan Amundson (Rivulets), Mat Sweet (Boduf Songs) e Aidan Baker (Nadja, Whisper Room, ARC), che hanno incrociato le loro chitarre attraverso l'etere, lavorando autonomamente gli uni dagli altri. Nella maggior parte delle canzoni, in prevalenza strumentali, si sente che lo stile di uno degli autori prevale sugli altri: in "December 12" è il tipico cantato narcolettico di Mat Sweet a trascinarsi su deboli accordi di chitarra e su un tappeto di drone e archi; "Vision Of God" è incentrata su un chiaro arpeggio acustico di stampo Rivulets; le cacofonie chitarristiche di "All Blues" sono figlie della musica dei Nadja. Salvo qualche eccezione (ad esempio "The Bullet Sent To Kill Me Is Already On Its Way" è slowcore ben fatto: una languida chitarra si accompagna a ruvide e marziali percussioni, per poi sfociare in una coda in crescendo), è la mancanza di coesione a penalizzare un lavoro comunque interessante per gli amanti del genere. Le opere soliste dei tre autori restano, tuttavia, su livelli qualitativi superiori.
