Afterglow, by Jon Boden

Afterglow

sophie this album has been the soundtrack to my last five months. my favorite track varies from day to day and mood to mood, but moths in the gaslight is always near the top. there's something very lived in about the world that boden paints with this one, and the thread of yearning that trails throughout brings this open sort of tenderness to an otherwise burning world, which just feels endlessly, beautifully human. Favorite track: Moths In The Gas Light.

about

Afterglow follows on from Boden's 2009 post-apocalyptic concept-album masterpiece ‘Songs From The Floodplain’. Whereas Floodplain was largely rural in setting, Afterglow plunges the listener into the heaving chaos of a dystopian street carnival, an Orwellian mashup of Bonfire Night and Diwali. Through his unique songwriting Boden tells the story of two star-crossed lovers trying to find each other amongst a backdrop of decaying buildings, burning oil drums, home-made fireworks, tribal rioting and Bacchanalian revelry.
