Details:

This is the reissue of the debut album from Library Tapes. This swedish duo met when Per Jardsell was called by a promoter as a last-minute replacement for the guitarist in David Wenngren’s band – even though they live in the same town. It quickly became apparent that their respective talents would work well together. five months later they begun to record the album whose dark atmospherics echo the work of the likes of Max Richter, Lunz, Sylvain Chaveau, Esmerine, Rachels and A Silver Mt Zion. They took their name after performing live in a library; their structures and approach take their lead from classical music, and the seven expansive, sprawling, emotive compositions on “Alone In The Bright Lights Of A Shattered Life” are effectively one piece of music split into subsections or movements. The cd will be released in a matte finish digipack and is limited to 1000 copies. Recommended if you like:
