ALWAYS THE LIGHT | March 5, 2012 | Saint Marie Records Finding a path through [Love] + [Tragedy] + [Defeat]. Always the Light places catastrophic personal events into an ocean of complex programmed rhythms a la Lali Puna and M83, with an emphasis on honey-coated vocals and washes of distant, dreamy synths and guitars. Nowhere is this more evident than on album lead-off, the instantly hummable “Stay Beside Me,” and the Curve-incarnate anthem “No One Gets Lost.” Providing extra dimension to Always the Light, Elika explores more cavernous, ambient IDM-informed concepts on “Never Touch the Sky,” “Waiting Room,” and “All My Wishes.” The many facets of Elika combine in top form with “We Had It All” – soaring choruses, a celestial crescendo, and visceral electrogaze vibes done right. |

In November 2010, a vibrant four year old girl named Kenna Rae Parfrey was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. AML is a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. For treatment, Kenna underwent very aggressive chemotherapy over a several month period. During her hospitalization, her loving parents committed to never leaving her side. They split shifts between the hospital, their jobs and home so they could also care for her two siblings. Thankfully, Kenna is now out of the hospital and doing much better. Sadly, this ordeal left her family with bills impossible for them to afford. Our track is featured on this compilation with amazing bands like Joan of Arc and Amercian Heritage.
