     After nearly two years of silence, Aarktica (aka Jon DeRosa)
     returns with a fourth full-length release, the most haunting
     and ambitious to date. Supported by an ensemble of horns,
     strings and percussion, Bleeding Light is it's own distinct
     hybrid of dark, dissonant free jazz, electro-acoustic drone
     pop, and shoegaze glimmer, all largely centered around North
     Indian raga structures.

     At its core, Bleeding Light is an album about New York City in
     the sense that it captures the very massive and intricate
     feelings of urban sadness and isolation. It simmers with
     tension, a harrowing feeling of the loss of self and a slow
     descent into madness, most apparent in the hallucinatory dirge
     "Depression Modern". Aarktica obsesses over the idea of
     synthetic light as a necessary foil to the city's darkness,
     exalting Times Square's light architect in "OJ Gude".

     DeRosa's guitar work has grown more ominous and minimal over
     the years, as his style has evolved from lush reverb washes to
     reductionist subharmonic loops and fractured melodies. He has
     the rare quality of working in different genres with different
     performers, always resulting in a style that is unmistakably
     his own. Here he collaborates with longtime friend Aaron
     Spectre, as well as ex-Anthony Braxton Ensemble members Seth
     Misterka, Nate Wooley, and Mike Pride.

     As with all of Aarktica's works, this is ideal for headphone
     listening, as there is seemingly no bottom to this well of
     layers and textures. Bleeding Light is an enhanced CD and
     features a video for the song "A Wash A Sea Goodbye It's Me"
     directed by Jake Hensberry.

     Definitely recommended.  Support a fantastic artist and buy a
     copy yourself...we did!
