This is a review of a split album between Portugal's Hulduefni and Austria's Struggling Beacons, Fading Headlights called "Dark City Lights" which was released by Dark matter Records and we will start off the review with Hulduefni who plays a mixture of dark ambient and drone on this recording.
His side of the split starts out with a few seconds of silence before adding in telephone sounds and noises which they also mix in wit psychedelic elements and after awhile harsh drones are added onto the recording along with some experimental and ambient traces and clean yet primitive guitars can also be heard in the music at times and some of the tracks are long and epic in length and as his side of the recording progresses field recordings along with traffic noise can be heard in the music at times while all of his songs are instrumental and the production sounds very dark and raw.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Hulduefni and if you are a fan of filed recordings, dark ambient and drone, you should check out his side of t he split. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Phone Stress" and "Noise From The City".
Next up is Struggling Beacons, Fading Headlights a solo project that plays a depressive mixture of dark ambient and drone.
His side of the split starts out with drone soundscapes while also being very experimental at the same time and a few seconds later dark ambient synths are added onto the recording and they give the music more of an atmospheric feeling and harsh electronic sounds and noises can also be heard on the recording at times while all of the songs are instrumental and the songs also bring in a great amount of diversity while one of the tracks is very long and epic in length and the production sounds very dark, raw and lo-fi.
In my opinion Struggling Beacons, Fading Headlights are a very great sounding depressive mixture of dark ambient and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Drowning" and "Frost Bites''.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great sounding split and I would recommend it to all fans of dark ambient and drone. 8 out of 10.
