In The Absence Of Light
(LRS 2021)

12 EP Limited Edition Pale Green Vinyl
(*Only 500 Copies pressed)
[LRS2021-Sep4th]

An escape into the cosmos, out of this world of the grey and the shallow into deep space, light and legend. Absence of Light is the new EP from Polly Scattergood, a writing and production collaboration with Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Grinderman) and producer Glenn Kerrigan. A pun on the word saturnine meaning gloomy, moody or mysterious the literal meaning is born under the influence of the planet Saturn. Saturn 9 is about emerging from the gloom of lockdown into a radiant Summer of hope. Polly Scattergood has put together a video that sees a retro-colourful, smiley-faced and Lycra-clad gang of friends dancing through the streets, beat box in hand: a video that is all about movement, energy, and sharing positive feelings with each other.

Written during last years lockdowns in virtual writing sessions with Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds / Sonic Youth / Grinderman) and long-time collaborator Glenn Kerrigan, the EP evokes sounds from outer edges of the universe, celebrating the scientific wonder and mythological splendour of worlds and realms beyond our own. The EP characterised by a delight in sciences answers to the infinite questions of space, and the ancient Roman and Greek attempts to know the unknowable, and explain the inexplicable, is released on digital and physical formats in September.
