Brightblack Morning Album/Tour

Brightblack Morning Light Motion To Rejoin & Crystal Totem Turr

Brightblack Morning Light

The nomadic duo of Naybob Shineywater and Rachael Hughes, who make up Brightblack Morning Light, are currently living in rural New Mexico, finalizing their sophomore album Motion To Rejoin. The album was recorded entirely with solar power and features vintage keyboards, traditional Native American instrumentation, slide guitar, horns, and a variety of percussion.

The band’s 2006 breakthrough debut full length was met with incredibly warm reception:

*marvelously hypnotic* [NY Times]
*invents a new genre: freak funk * [Blender]
*not so much songs as soulful exhales…timeless* [Resonance]
*all the psychedelic drive of Miles Davis -Bitches Brew-, only slower* [The Fader]
*make Galaxie 500 sound like death metal* [CMJ]

Motion to Rejoin is out September 23 on Matador Records. Check out the song “Hologram Buffalo” from the forthcoming release at www.matadorrecords.com/brightblack/music or just stream ‘er with our embed below.
