Panopticon present Ely in the Dark!
Panopticon presents: “Ely in the Dark”, the third and final single from “Laurentian Blue”, due for release by Nordvis and Bindrune Recordings on August 15. “Laurentian Blue” sees Panopticon leave behind the distortion and delve into a quieter, more intimate realm. Steeped in acoustic Americana, this companion to “…And Again into the Light” explores grief, resilience, and memory through banjo, mandolin, and twin violins. Inspired by the likes of Townes Van Zandt, it’s a record of stark emotional clarity – a reminder that sometimes the heaviest burdens are carried in silence. Austin Lunn commented: “Ely in the Dark” is about life in the northwoods, conjuring images of what people’s lives are like here. The northern lights often illuminate our skies at night – but on cloudy evenings, the faint glow from town reflects off the low clouds and gives the false impression that the lights are beginning. I feel like a lot of things in life, for better and worse, aren’t what they seem. Life is drenched in both mystery and irony, and we’re all just finding our way through it. |
