"Kerala Dust presents album Light, West, out on Denature Records. After six releases and three years of extensive touring around Europe and the Americas, the Berlin-based live trio around producer and songwriter Edmund Kenny finds itself taking an ambitious, sprawling turn with Light, West. A groove-laden soundtrack for a movie never made, this record feels like the most comprehensive review of Kerala Dust's varying influences and inspirations, merged into something wholly unique. Starting with guitar-driven blues-house on 'Night, Bell (Arizona)' and moving firmly into the club on 'Evening Redness', the record then rides through a heady collage of bolero (Amsterdam), techno (Reflected) and 60s funk-balladry (Phoebe). The result of a year and a half's work, the record's most surprising aspect could well be that these varying musical tones all manage to feel part of a large, inter-connected musical narrative."
