‘Until the Light Takes Us Launch Party’

This launch party for the black metal documentary Until the Light Takes Us features approximately zero black metal, instead focusing on indie rock dudes who use their solo projects as a way to explore wild new textures. Fenriz would be proud or maybe confused. Papa M is the long-simmering post-acoustic chillout sesh from a not-so-closet metalhead, Slint’s David Pajo, Soft Circle is the Boredoms-sized one-man joy-blast from ex-Black Dicer Hisham Bharoocha, and Rain Machine is stripped-down prickle from TVOTR’s Kyp Malone. With Kevin Barker.
