NEW ALBUMS
LIGHT CONDUCTOR
Sequence Two CONSTELLATION
Analogue-synth meditations from Canadian duo
7/10
You may recognise Jace Lasek and Stephen Ramsay through the activities of their respective rock groups, The Besnard Lakes and Young Galaxy. On the sly, though, the pair are doing equally deep work with Light Conductor. Analogue synths are their game, although Sequence Two approaches the technology with more heft than your average kosmische stargazers. The opening “Splitting Light” marshals pulsating synthesisers, heartbeat rhythms and stirring vocal choruses, while the album’s more intense moments hark back to those moments of Spiritualized shows past where the strobes kick in and everything vibrates with holy intensity.
