Quiet Light - Blue Angel Sparkling Silver (CD)
CD, QUALITY MP3+WAV // Orange Label Records 2024 Re-Release
Contains an alternate version of “Somerville” with Iggy Pop monologue.
NOTE: CDs will ship following general on-sale, August 1. A high-quality download will be delivered to email upon shipment.
Initially the main side project of Riya Mahesh, ‘Blue Angel Sparkling Silver’ was the last full-length LP recorded under the eponymous artist name before Mahesh decided to fold it under the Quiet Light banner. (First Self-Released 2023)
FADER praises, “Blue Angel [is a] sound collage in the tradition of Dean Blunt’s World Music, or perhaps a Joni Mitchell record produced by Klein. [The album] has a hypnagogic, anything-goes mandate, off-mic voice memos sharing space with gauzy aurora borealis vocal melodies that shimmer whether raw or processed with Auto-Tune. […] Mahesh endeavors not to repeat herself between albums, and relishes exploring new sonic frontiers. She can do so with style and skill because, despite living in a constant state of flux, she’s got a handle on the most important thing of all. “When people meet me in the wild, they're just going to see a Texas girl who is nice to them,” she says, “so it's just who I am. The songs [may] change, but my personality is always going to shine through.”’
