AuroraLathe of Heaven12 Album Coloured VinylGenre: RockDescription: 'Aurora' is an iteration of Lathe of Heaven's sound previously unexplored one that offers a delicate balance of their punk roots with captivating new-wave and 80's post-punk aesthetics incorporating influences from mid 80's British and Finnish post-punk combined with subtle nuances from 90's and contemporary under-ground pop. Recorded with Ben Greenberg at Circular Ruin and mastered by Brad Boatright the album sonically is inspired by The Cure's melodic rock Musta Paraati's gothic post-punk synth and intense drumming and A Flock of Seagulls' art pop vocals and guitar riffs. Lyrically Aurora doesn't shy away from heavy themes. Envisioned as a collection of sci-fi short stories it is deeply influenced and lyrically driven by themes of anti-colonialism diversity and equality.
