Emmerhoff & The Melancholy Babies - The Dying Of The Light [LP] (Limited Import)

Death comes to us all. Emmerhoff & The Melancholy Babies do not shy away from this irrefutable fact. The band celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2026 may now rightly consider themselves distinguished "elder statesmen" of rock. With such perspectives also comes the recognition of the transience of life. There are now more funerals than weddings lingering on the horizon and the ranks of both the idols of our youth and contemporaries on the music scene are beginning to thin. "The Dying of The Light" its title taken from Dylan Thomas' iconic poem contemplates and embraces the twilight of life but also in the spirit of the poem fighting spirit and stubborn resistance to the inevitable. Death will come but until then we will create music and celebrate life. The band's seventh studio album was recorded at Duper and Solslottet Studios in Bergen and produced by Iver Sandoy and Jorgen Traeen.. The music reflects the sombre thematic while also being vital and vigorous. The range is wide from delicate contemplation to powerful outbursts strictly composed in one moment and loosely improvised in the next.
