Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from the trio Setting, featuring Nathan Bowles (Pelt), Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors), and Joe Westerlund (Califone, Sylvan Esso), is a hypnotic exploration of texture and rhythm. 'Shone a Rainbow Light On' masterfully blends acoustic instrumentation with electronic processing, creating a unique sound world that draws from free folk, minimalist drone, and propulsive post-rock. The resulting work is a surreal and atmospheric journey, built on repetitive, tribal-like patterns that are both natural and otherworldly.
