Product Description: Lathe of Heaven return with their second full-length album Aurora, a boldexpansion of their sonic and thematic palette that unfolds like a series of vivid,emotional vignettes.Aurora is an iteration of Lathe of Heaven's sound previously unexplored, one thatoffers a delicate balance of their punk roots with captivating new-wave and 80spost-punk aesthetics, incorporating influences from mid 80s British and Finnishpost-punk, combined with subtle nuances from 90s and contemporary underground pop. Recorded with Ben Greenberg at Circular Ruin and masteredby Brad Boatright, the album sonically is inspired by The Cure's melodic rock,Musta Paraati's gothic post-punk synth and intense drumming, and A Flock ofSeagulls' art pop vocals and guitar riffs.Lyrically, Aurora doesn't shy away from heavy themes. Envisioned as a collectionof sci-fi short stories, it is deeply influenced and lyrically driven by themes ofanti-colonialism, diversity, and equality. These stories are inspired by Ursula K. leGuin, Octavia Butler, Greg Egan, and Peter Watts' novels, leading listeners tomythical, bold, and somewhat unnerving realities. The title track, "Aurora," is setin a dystopian future where Earth is long abandoned due to nuclear fallout - it explores themes of loss, love, and devotion. "Oblivion" delves into the phenomenonof semantic satiation - say a word enough times and it begins to lose it's meaning."Exodus" reimagines Theseus' Ship Paradox, narrating the experience of transferring consciousness into a new, perfect body. Elsewhere, "Portrait of a ScorchedEarth" stands as a direct act of resistance. One of the most emotionally raw songson the album, it breaks from the band's usual lyrical abstraction as an unflinchingreckoning with the horrors of modern warfare and displacement, rooted in thelived tragedy of Gaza.Lathe of Heaven hope Aurora elicits a vast spectrum of emotions, and inspiresdeeper reflection on the state of our reality and humanity. It is literary withoutbeing pretentious, political without preaching, and emotional without flinching.Every song holds a piece of a shattered mirror and what emerges is a prismatic,wounded beauty, staring back with a thousand faces. Set to be released August29th, 2025, Aurora stakes it's claim; "tremble without fear into dreamless oblivion."You are invited.
