Lusine - "Twilight"

At the heart of Lusines 2009 full-length A Certain Distance lies the song Twilight, a placid, vocal-led downtempo lullabye. If Two Dots, A Certain Distances luminous first single, was the albums knockout blow, Twilight is its victory lap—similar in scope and instrumentation but calmer in execution, its gently chugging drum programming and billowing puffs of Rhodes providing a weightless base for Vilja Larjostos voice, clear and knowing as ever. What do you know about the ancients? / What do you know about the future? Larjosto intones as the song walks on air, evoking an appropriately thoughtful mood to match the songs titular half-light.

The digital single of Twilight comes with three additional tracks. Lusines Crowded Room (Type A) reworks A Certain Distance`s dancefloor standout by bringing its ringing synth tones to the forefront and filling the background with eerie vocoded mumblings. Lusines own re-edit of Twilight (as an Elliptical Mix) whips the original into a delirious late-night confection, all bleary textures and four-on-the-floor momentum; while Spectral Sound alumnus Jeff Samuel adds his own techno spin to Twilight, spraying a thin mist of Larjostos vocals over a field of percolating hi-hats and hand claps.
