about

Harpoon of Sunlight exists inside the infamous Texas summer. In the liminal space between shade and a blinding heat. In that sigh of relief as the sun dips below the tree line and a long awaited breeze announces it's presence. Recorded in quarantine (but not isolation) between June & August 2020, Harpoon emerged and transformed itself after weeks of demos attempting to perfect certain percussion sounds. Originally intended as an hour and a half long album exercising patience and repetition, the most melodic moments were cutaway to form the first vinyl release for both Future Museums and Aural Canyon. This is a statement on heat, on the pleasure of sunlight, and compassion surviving a historically tragic and traumatic cycle of seasons.

To Live & Die In Space & Time
by Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice

supported by 34 fans who also own “Harpoon of Sunlight”

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.

This album makes you feel like a better world is possible and somewhat close at hand. It isn't, clearly, we're stuck in dystopia, but it's so beautiful to dream. Fabio Viola
