The happiest Monday we've had in a while, as Calida Ray finally shares part one of his album, There Might Be Light Above The Surface, with the world. After eagerly waiting for this moment since spring, I can easily say that listening to this work from start to finish is one of the best things you can gift yourself this week.
“For me, this project reflects the tension between light and darkness on both an emotional and sonic level, and the transformational process of searching for light, represented through many things – inner peace, clarity, or the presentness of the pure self. An open space that invites you to find your own meaning in what light or darkness might be for you.“
Be prepared for lush soundscapes, ebbs and flows, ups and downs, sunny grooves, and bold musical statements that leave plenty of space for reflection, while finding their way into some of the most hidden parts of your soul.
And as I said, this is only the beginning. If you like what you hear, stick around for the continuation - part two of the album, which we'll start teasing next month and fully share with the world on November 26th.
For now, stream part one of the album, share it with your friends, and for the vinyl lovers, you can also pre-order your copy here.
