Review
Blunt Force Drama is the epic new single from Alternative/Sludge/Shoegaze Rockers Museum Of Light who made a massive impression with me thanks to their acclaimed 2022 debut full length album Horizon. The album showed Museum Of Light’s great style of music that travelled across the Shoegaze, Alt Rock, Doom, Sludge, Indie, Psych and Stoner Rock platforms for something bold, aggressive, melodic and downright insightful.
The band have applied that style once again to Blunt Force Drama which is mostly a powerful instrumental track with haunting chants and echoes from Ted Alvarez and Rob Smith providing the ethereal vocals. The upcoming album Diviner sees new additions of Jeff Bartless on Bass Guitar, Elissa Aliverz on vocal duties and Amelia Urry providing Spoken Word poems which are highly majestic and give the album a sense of realism that’s brilliantly powerful at the same time.
However, Blunt Force Drama is powered by ethereal Sludge/Stoner grooves that reminds me of HUM, TORCHE and FLOOR but with Museum Of Light still creating their own highly original style of music that is very hard to define.
WOW. End of…
Words by Steve Howe
Diviner will be available to buy on DD/Vinyl via Spartan Records from March 14th 2025.
