400 Lonely Things are a solo project from the United States that plays a mixture of dark ambient, drone and electronica and this is a review of his 2024 album "The New Twilight" which will be released on September 6th by Cold Spring.
Melodic sounding guitar drones and dark soundscapes start off the album while field recordings can also be heard in the background at times. A lot of the music also gets very experimental throughout the recording along with a lot of electronic sounds also being added in certain sections of the tracks,
Elements of dark ambient are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the synths also capture the atmosphere of a horror movie soundtrack. Most of the songs are also very long and epic in length along with a lot of the music also sticking to more of an instrumental direction.
Spoken word parts can also be heard on a few tracks, each track also sounds very different from each other as well as one song also adding in a small amount of melodic chants and clean vocals are also added towards the end. The production sounds very dark while the song themes focus on 80's horror films.
In my opinion 400 Lonely Things are a very great sounding mixture of dark ambient, drone, experimental and electronica and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Life Plus" "The Fifth Wind" "The Lake" "Take Me TO Your World Again". 8 out of 10.
