SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE BREAK THRESHOLD OF LIGHT

posted February 7th, 2017

 Burning the Threshold brings a wealth of Six Organs-styled lightness into one of his sweetest musical meditations yet. A head-full of ideas were driving Ben Chasny to think and speak music as a spirituality superimposed onto a reality, with the ghosts of both whispering at each other. In the end, what sits in our listening ears is the sound of communion. And with a brain that at times seems to throb with such intensity as to possibly burst the seems of his skull, Chasny's perpetual thirst for knowledge and inspiration often comes from unlikely places. Unlikely for many, at least - but most songs on Burning The Threshold are colored by a historically Chasny-an commonality.

This couldn't be more true of the album's second single: "Threshold of Light" is in fact completely congruent with the Six Organs school of (flowering) thought. Inspired by the works of Algis Uzdavinys and Aaron Cheak, "Threshold of Light" is a spectral mediation on ancient myths and alchemy; a sly nod back to "S/Word and Leviathan" found on Asleep on the Floodplain. "Threshold of Light" is draped in shadowy illusions and ethereal sounds, as weeping harmonies stretch and transport Ben's words from this astral plane to another. Listen below and mark your calendars for when 6OOA orbs into your town in the coming weeks!
