Back in September Lights Dim with Gallery Six released their newest record ‘Between Spaces’, and is a ten-track LP by the Polish-Japanese coalition of pianist, guitarist and synth wizard Marek Kamiński, aka Lights Dim from Krakow, and the former drummer in rock bands and recent ambient luminary Hidekazu Imashige, aka Gallery Six from Miyoshi near Hiroshima.

Ambient music doesn’t often grab your attention as much as it does grow on you, or lull you into a sense of bliss, but for some reason the first track on ‘Between Spaces’ did just that. Maybe it was the poignant echoes of Hammock, Rhian Sheehan or even Stray Theories – the gentle post-rock sound that seems to be the very sweet note for many of us. The album is beautiful –  you’re left smiling at a stunning combination of sound and texture, all the way from two opposite sides of the world. [via A Strangely Isolated Place]

Check out the surprisingly accurate press-release:

Lights Dim is the solo project of Marek Kamiński from Poland, known for his works on Audio Gourmet, Preserved Sound, and GV Sound. With this new “Between Spaces” album, he teams up with his sound mate Gallery Six from Hiroshima, Japan putting together beautiful layers of soundscapes, including acoustic instruments such as piano and guitars, as well as sound samples and field recordings. Their music has a strong emotional “song” feeling to it which sounds more like further steps beyond post rock music rather than electronic ambient music. Whatever the categories are, this is simply touching large-scale music with much graceful moments recommended for the fans of Hammock and Sigur Ros.
