Alight

Alight is a new project by Ross Tones (a.k.a. Throwing Snow, and one half of Snow Ghosts), released through Local Action.Tones has been releasing dancefloor magic since 2007, finding support from big names like Bonobo and Thom Yorke (both of whom have requested him as tour support in the last few years). In 2011, he debuted on Local Action with ‘Too Polite’, a brittle jungle single released several years before the whole junglist revival that’s come to dominate music conversations in 2013. Iridis’s title track started as a live version of ‘Too Polite’, and developed into something deeper and darker over several shows and studio sessions. It’s easy the heaviest thing Tones has released. The rest of the EP formed around ‘Iridis’, and finds Tones exploring sub-zero house, trunk-rattling dubstep and in the case of closing track ‘Caligo’, drone. It’s gnarly as you like, and it’s only the start.
