Ben Shemie is the vocalist and guitars of the fantastic Suuns. But it turns out that he makes music also solo and this year released the second album under his own surname. So it's time to catch up and have a look at A Single Point of Light.
The album "focuses on the perception of light, both figuratively and literally (...), how we can all see the same thing but perceive it differently". Every fan of Suuns should instantly recognize the band's unique style in Shemie's works: similar electronic effects, minimalism of form that bring maximum artistic value, dark vibe. The album was "recorded in one day, all live off the floor, with no overdubs" which only makes the feeling of minimalism and lo-fi magic deeper. The examples here are numerous: based on the nervous beeping Ties That Bind, very much Suuns-like vibrating backgrounds in Change or the album's finish in the electronically massacred ballad The River.
Great idea was to interlace more traditional, if you could even call them that, songs with tracks that create electronic bridges between them. In this way the melodic compositions seem to be lost within this electronic hotchpotch so the listener has to dig for them which makes a really satisfying job.
