Originally released by Sunyata Recordings earlier this summer, one fact rang out: Life In The Dark's music is simply too great to limit to small-batch cassette runs. The man behind both, Zen Zsigo, was kind enough to allow us to reissue "Hushed Bloom" on CD, and even provided us with an exclusive track.

"To say it blatantly, Hushed Bloom, Life in the Dark's most recent output, is about death. Not some violent, explosive death, but something more quiet and passing, like a candle that slowly, but surely, burns out. These two lengthy tracks (each crossing the 15-minute mark), titled "Hushed Bloom" and "Comadeth," feature a much more low-key, highly minimalist side of Life in the Dark that, while hinted at in the past, has fully realized itself on this release. Solely featuring lush, distorted synthesizers, maybe reminiscent of Scott Cortez's guitar work with Lovesliescrushing, a drum machine, and Zsigo's own voice, Hushed Bloom is an adventure into the disembodied feeling of dying, like, as stated in the title of the second track, one might feel when in a coma. It is warm, there is no pain, only the distant feeling of leaving." - The Inarguable
