The organic flow of the single gives way to a wash of ethereal overlapping of voices, cascading violin and double bass imitating the glittering light through an afternoon window. The track ends with a reprise of the main song, this time intimately sung with soulful guitar backing.

‘Golden Light’ is a warm hug of expansive proportions. Over the course of the single, the band’s impressive dexterity evolve and transform their sound.

Following on from the electric and more rhythmic method of ‘Complete as One,’ ‘Golden Light,’ is laid-back funk influenced tune, the first half of the single paints the sunset at front-woman Emily-Rose’s room all it’s sensual glory.

“Every evening at the golden hour, I am blessed with my room, the garden and an array of objects through the house being awash with light from a glorious sunset. It is a magical few moments of the day, when the light filling your eyes also caresses your skin and spreads a certain warmth and calm through your mind,” said Emily-Rose.

“It is this light that announces the arrival of the night with all it’s creative energy and the same light that wakes us in the morning to gently encourage us to appreciate the new day. I am always in awe at this phenomenon. ‘Golden Light’ began as a poetic arrangement of words that I sent to a friend who was on a hitchhiking adventure. He voice messaged back a dreamy melody which became the first strains of this song,”
