Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of Priest Lake Circa ’88, the eagerly awaited third album by US ambient artist Slow Dancing Society. Following on from the ice-sculpted cinematics of the critically praised The Slow and Steady Winter, Priest Lake Circa ’88 is Drew Sullivan’s finest work to date. In essence, it is the second part of a double album that began with The Slow and Steady Winter, acting as a long-distance conclusion to the double album’s narrative arc.
Praise for The Slow and Steady Winter
“superb sophomore effort by Washington-based Drew Sullivan… Frozen sheets of sound course through the epic ambient settings… which don’t so much showcase guitar virtuosity as they do lyrical beauty… Be sure to play the album loud in order to fully bask in its splendor” – Textura
Praise for The Sound of Lights When Dim
“Music is all about moments like this. Moments when you are, unexpectedly, knocked over and stunned into submission by an album that has, quite literally, came from nowhere… The Sound of Lights When Dim is a deeply affecting, consistently excellent effort of stunning tranquility and beautiful ambience, that demands repeated listening” – Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep
The album is available now through the Hidden Shoal Recordings online store in both CD and digital formats as well as all good online stores. A full press release can be downloaded here and the album can be streamed in full here.
