Museum of Light Releases New Song “Undone”
Seattle-based rock band Museum of Light, consisting of Ted Alvarez (guitar/vocals), Jeff Bartlett (bass) and Rob Smith (drums), released the second single called “Undone” from their upcoming sophomore album “Diviner” on January 29, 2025.
The album is set to be released on March 14, 2025.
The track blends crushing, heavy swagger with ethereal, sparkling melodies and operatic vocals to create a dynamic sound.
It was written by Rob Smith and Ted Alvarez. Produced by Scott Evans.
The band guitarist Ted Alvarez told Revolver about the song, “It's a bit strange for us to pick singles. Obviously we want people to enjoy each song on its own terms and listen however they desire. But we're massive fans of the classic LP format, and for "Diviner" we wanted to expand what we started on "Horizon" and really design the record as something that's hopefully most rewarding when it's absorbed in one sitting. It might be an old or antiquated idea, but it's our tiny way of pushing back against everyone's attention being atomized and split in a million directions. That said, "Undone" has been a set ender for a while, so it proved its mettle as a banger long before the album took shape.”- He continued, “When it comes to meanings or feelings, I think we're way more into creating images and suggestions that feel real and true, but opaque enough that the listener is really attaching their own specific story. This one's maybe a bit more concrete in that I think we tried to bottle the collapse of a relationship when it feels most catastrophic -- mountains are crumbling, the earth is literally trying to swallow you up. But even after you've been buried, you can see a little light coming through the cracks, if that makes any sense.”

The new album comprises 11 songs, featuring guest appearances from Elissa Alvarez and Amelia Urry. The band recorded it at Ocean Sound studio in Norway.
Also, this marks the debut of new bassist Jeff Bartlett.
The band said of the album, “Exactly one year ago, the eminently talented Scott Evans joined us once again to record our follow-up to 'Horizon.' But this time, we did it at Ocean Sound in Giske, Norway. It was an experience we can't put into words, even all this time later.” - source : Apple Music
