Black Light
Full Time Hobby****
While British electro-folk act Tunng continue to produce memorable music for those who ache for an earworm invasion, think also of former member Sam Genders, who delivershere a debut solo album of such warmth and depth it might just silence Tunng forever. Containing two tracks ( Antelopeand Night All Night) that first surfaced on a Diagrams EP last summer, Black Lightshowcases Genders' knack of blending oh-so-familiar hooks with musically rich and inventive arrangements. Everything here is soft, which is its primary triumph. Songs such as Ghost Lit, Tall Buildings, Night All Night, Appetite, Antelope, Animalsand Peninsulaooze a fireside warmth that compels you to nudge closer. As much bucolic electronica as rustic pop, Black Lightwill have you aimlessly humming for the right reasons. diagramsmusic.co.uk
