The long-awaited third studio album by 40 WATT SUN, these eight songs range from sparse, unaccompanied voice and guitar, through the warm subtle overdrive of the previous album, Wider Than the Sky. Like Patrick Walker's (ex WARNING) best work, the songs quietly build with emotion, and ache with a darkness and melancholy beauty.
Perfect Light is the first 40 WATT SUN album created without a full, formal band structure. Patrick enlisted an array of accomplished musicians to fulfil his vision for the album, including, among others, Andrew Prestidge and Roland Scriver (THE OSIRIS CLUB), Ajit Gill (VERTAAL), Lorraine Rath (AMBER ASYLUM / WORM OUROBOROS), and pianist / composer Chris Redman.
Recorded over the course of a year at Chat Bizarre Studios, Hertfordshire by Theodore Howarth, and Holy Mountain Studios, London by Chris Fullard, writing was a fluid process that continued as the album unfurled. Perfect Light reflects a period of transition and a new way of writing and recording for Patrick.
