'Light Falls' features Wrekmeister Harmonies joined by members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and guest appearances from Ryley Walker and Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin Bajas). Album artwork by legendary outsider artist Nick Blinko (Rudimentary Peni). The album opens up with 'Light Falls I: The Mantra' with JR intoning the phrases, "Stay in, go out, get sick, get well, light falls" over a swelling riff that features the albums only two guest musicians, singer songwriter Ryley Walker and Cooper Crain of Cave and Bitchin Bajas, solidifying the idea of slow change, easing the passage toward something cataclysmic - both sonically and spiritually. The album builds inexorably towards the Muddy Waters referencing centrepiece, 'Where Have You Been My Lovely Son?' which has "an incredibly personal" meaning for JR: "It is about the disintegration of a relationship that I had with my son's mother. My son and I had a really intense, close relationship and as a result of this break up I've lost that connection. There has been a lot of difficulty and a lot of uncomfortable moments, so it was a personal message to my son." And then finally, Wrekmeister Harmonies' most focused album to date resolves in the tempestuous, apocalyptic 'Some Were Saved Some Drowned.' LP version pressed on virgin vinyl and packaged in a high gloss jacket with spot varnish, artworked inner sleeve and free download coupon. CD version in 4 panel mini-LP style gatefold package with spot varnish printing and inner sleeve.
