With the release of their upcoming sophomore album “Light On The Path”, Subaudition has become an entity of its own. So mething that comes alive through painstaking meditation and submission to something greater than the people behind it. The creation of “Light On The Path” took an exhaustive four years, and this speaks volumes about the effort that went to their new album. This can also be heard from the album which channels a rather different kind of energy compared to the band's earlier output.
“Light On The Path” sees Subaudition move into more acoustic, less ambient sort of approach. The group has brought in beautiful string arrangements which represent a new kind of courage and audacity in their music. Songs like 'Sínne' and 'Feathers Fall' combine the cinematic vibe of Sigur Rós and the melancholic folk undertone of Tenhi. In the minimalistic 'The Soul Unto Aether' and in the electrifying 'Wall Of Water' there are small hints from the more epic songs of the likes of Antony and the Johnsons and even Coldplay. A little less obvious, perhaps, is that the biggest inspira tion for “Light On The Path” came from the legendary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. A first impression of Subaudition's beguiling yet oppressive stillness is given already now by a sound sample in the form of the album's opener, 'Alms Of The Sun':
