Synopsis

Album Description
"...Feverish new wave romps rub elbows with clever, introspectively twangly epics, and there's an expansive DMZ between the two extremes where The Chaps mix `n' match the bits & pieces and tinker to their hearts' content. The results are sublime." - SPLENDID Put on your cloak, light your candles and prepare to writhe to the backwoods sounds of The Buttless Chaps' newest excursion into the realms of the unknowable. Formed in Victoria eight years ago, until very recently the Chaps were Dave Gowans, Lasse Lutick, Morgan McDonald and Torben Wilson, but were recently enhanced by the addition of Ida Nilsen (Great Aunt Ida). Where Night Holds Light picks up hot on the heels of The Chaps' most recent Mint release, Love This Time, and takes the obsession with animals, insects, gardening and human suffering to its (musically) logical conclusion. Imagine if Depeche Mode had recorded The Byrd's Sweetheart of the Rodeo, or if The Handsome Family had done a version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Where Night Holds Light sounds like nothing you have come across before, even if you are already familiar with The Buttless Chaps!

Mitchell Howard | Havelock North, NZ | 11/11/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"What a great album this is. A lovely languid piece that sounds like Kurt Wagner got happy. Gentle electronics mingle with soft but piercing guitar movements, an appropriate phrase especially for the beautiful track 5 "Movements". Lyrically and conceptually the album is lush, great outdoorsish but brought back indoors by the professional marksmanship of the guitar and keyboards sounds. The 80's style vocal delivery, almost English, think, Echo & the Bunnymen incorporates, Black humour and whimsey in equal measure. Then suddenly up a gear with a hint of B52 guitar work. If you like the strange orchestoral country sounds of Lambchop or your country laced with strange, then check this out."
