Shadowlight - Vinyl (The New Album)

£25.00

- Your order includes the physical White 140g Vinyl of Defences’ third full length album: Shadowlight, and there’s a good chance we’ll throw in a couple of stickers for you too!

- “Shadowlight” stems from a period of solitude and deep reflection, as we explore what it means to accept your inner darkness. Acknowledging, understanding and ultimately accepting it for what it is, learning how to sit with it or use it to change your outlook. The album sees all sides of this, tying in the parallel of the artistic process itself and what it is to create. To open yourself up to the possibility that you may not achieve what you believe in your core to be something you deserve, that you may not reach your potential. This cycle of disappointment and self sabotage is commonplace, with nothing left but to chase a sense of absolution and validation forever out of reach.

We become whole.

To live in The Almost.

We deal with this feeling of yearning for ever-elusive fulfilment over the course of “Shadowlight”, using the example of self-reflective Shadow Work to give a form to the parts of yourself that would normally be hidden and the parts that we wish we could change.

By facing these fears, this obsession with fulfilling an ill-defined sense of potential, and internalising it as a part of ourselves, we are liberated. We become whole. By welcoming the reality that we may never achieve absolution in the form we expected, we liberate ourselves. By accepting things as they are rather than we wish they are, we take back our lives.

We become whole.
