Sometimes it feels so simple: two of our favorite people in one of our favorite bands release one of our favorite records of all time. 2009's Imaginary Falcons was its own genius slushpile of tape-hissy drift-dub haze anthems, no question, but 936 takes every facet of the Peaking Lights mighty diamond and shines it to fluorescent perfection. The songwriting is insane; 'All The Sun That Shines,' 'Amazing & Wonderful,' 'Tiger Eyes (Laid Back),' etc, all seep into yr mindstream and float there like melodic gold dust. Indra Dunis' silky soul-jazz keys and tranced vocals have never sounded so exquisite, and Aaron Coyes busts out the best bass/drum loops and sneaky dub guitar of his musical lifetime. Recorded by Luke Tweedy at Flat Black Studios in Iowa City (where both the NNF Wet Hair LPs were tracked) and mastered in Berlin, 936 retains the cool crate-digger grit of their earlier highlights, but within a much more vivid spectrum of sound. Could not be more jazzed and honored to unveil this total groove-wave classic. Edition of 500.
