Slow Dancing Society’s fifth album <span style="font-style: italic;">Laterna Magica</span> demonstrates another key progression in the Slow Dancing Society discography, which is becoming one of the essential bodies of work in contemporary ambient music. The tracks are underpinned by gorgeous guitar drift and warm synth wash, sparingly propelled by throbbing electronic undercurrents. From the soft-focus exhalation of ‘A Few Moments’, via the gleaming musical universe of recently released single ‘I’ll Leave A Light On’, through to the hypnotic pulse and drifting melancholic piano of finale ‘Tomorrow’s Another Day’, <span style="font-style: italic;">Laterna Magica</span> is a definitive Slow Dancing Society release.

<span style="font-style: italic;">“Like the glow of sunlight filtered through the slowly undulating waves of blue crystalline water, Under The Sodium Lights is less an auditory adventure and more a rich and imaginative musical daydream.”</span> – <span style="font-weight: bold;">Delusions of Adequacy on <span style="font-style: italic;">Under The Sodium Lights</span></span>

<span style="font-style: italic;">“a complexity of sound that allows it to stand out from traditionally ambient music… It is easy to get dissolved in this album, to let yourself fall into meditation as the music plays… an aural delight”</span> – T<span style="font-weight: bold;">he Silent Ballet on </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Priest Lake Circa ’88</span>

<em>Laterna Magica</em> is available now for CD pre-order (inc. immediate MP3 or FLAC download). The CD comes as a beautiful 4 panel wallet with stunning artwork by Stuart Medley.
