Delicate, beautiful profound new work by the trio of British poet laureate Simon Armitage, multi-instrumentalist Patrick J. Pearson and singer-songwriter Richard Walters, about areas where light pollution is outlawed with this title track of their upcoming third album, out on 3 April via Real World Records. The song refers to where, on cloudless nights, we can see pinpricks and patterns of light that have been part of our consciousness since the dawn of humanity. They play on the contradictory idea that it’s only during the greatest darkness that we can perceive such vast distances. The song takes us beyond twilight, to the place where dreams begin and where fears and fantasies are amplified and magnified. Walters’ ethereal voice is full of self-doubt, and Armitage’s dryly spoken counterpart comes from a disappointed significant other, personalising the disquiet. The song appears to practice evasion, accusation, apprehension and confession all at the same time, but heads willingly into the unknown. It follows another single from the album, Blah! Blah! Blah!.
