Excerpt: “Sullivan (a.k.a. Slow Dancing Society) uses soft layers of washed-out synth tones and silky, echoing guitar strums to create lush and soothing ambient soundscapes. Depth and texture are added with backward tones, found sounds and hushed bells (and even the occasional whispered vocal) that float gently through the incandescent atmosphere. Other than allowing the artist to conjure up seven titles or to provide the listener with opportunities to shift gears through the various levels of consciousness and hypnotic states the music induces, there is little need for separate tracks, as the vapor trails of one lead into the calming ripples of another. Like the glow of sunlight filtered through the slowly undulating waves of blue crystalline water, Under The Sodium Lights is less an auditory adventure and more a rich and imaginative musical daydream.”
