Search - Bedouin Soundclash :: Light the Horizon

The horizon. Where things end, where things begin, and the point where possibilities are limitless. Inspired decision, then, that Juno Award-winning trio Bedouin Soundclash should choose to dub their latest collection of west-friendly, world-pop Light the Horizon. Inspired. And fitting. ''This record is really looking forward,'' says vocalist Jay Malinowski. ''It's from the point where we don't have any baggage from the past. We're just genuinely in the moment with this record, for the first time in a long time.'' Soundclash co-founder and bassist Eon Sinclair agrees. ''It's a really optimistic and hopeful record,'' he says. ''That's been said about some of the stuff we've done in the past, but this time we're just feeling more self-assured and more confident in doing what it is that we do in Bedouin Soundclash. It's positive and optimistic and forward-looking.''
Summoning the spirit of the May season in which it was recorded, Light the Horizon charts a new course for Bedouin Soundclash in 2011 - one that is awash with optimism, shimmering with possibilities and heralds the beginning of what could be the most defining chapter in the life of one of Canada's finest and freshest musical entities. But, as with much in this life, before you know where you are and where you're going it's important to know the journey you've travelled. And the tale of Bedouin Soundclash has been filled with step after step of something special - from live shows that are as emotionally incendiary as they are monstrously entertaining to albums that have stoked the hearts and minds of thousands.
