We are ecstatic to be able to share the details of our debut full length album “At Light's Demise” which will be released on 5th April 2024.
The album takes the premise of the band's 2021 debut EP “Under the Silent Meadow Skies” and builds upon this foundation of sorrowful melodies, introspective lyrics, complex bass lines and commanding drums. We were very happy with the production of the EP, so we went back to Josh Gallop at Stage 2 Studios in Bath. He has done a fantastic job of bringing the best out of us all and making sure everything can be heard clearly in the final mix and masters.
Today, we release the title track “At Light's Demise”. Written during the lockdowns, it encapsulates the despair felt during those times we could not see our loved ones. The track is available on all streaming platforms.
Lee says: “It feels surreal to finally announce the release of Cistvaen's debut album. I began writing tracks for this record as far back as 2019, so its been nearly 5 years in the making! I've grown a lot and been through a lot of personal changes in this time, and I feel the album documents this emotional growth tastefully.
It has been a pleasure working on these songs with James Mardon, Chris Finch, Ed Wilcox and Guy Taylor who bring my musical visions to life and beyond; and of course Mark who has come back into the fold and has been essential in the process of preparing to release this record. They all have my most humble gratitude.
I hope the album allows the listener to experience the same level of emotional introspection that I do when listening back to it, and that it might bring people together and allow for free flow of thought and even conversation with those closest to you.”
