Love is what makes us human. It guides our decisions, shapes our worldview, and defines our experiences. Its absence equates to tragedy while its presence gives our lives meaning. Love has been well worn theme throughout a lot of rock music, but most commonly in terms of love-lost, overly romanticized versions of new love, or as a veil for sexual conquest, says SUMAC guitarist and vocalist Aaron Turner (Old Man Gloom, Mamiffer, ISIS). It is rarely addressed in its more spiritual and vulnerable aspects. Those less-traversed territories of humankinds connective bond became the central theme SUMACs third full-length album, Love In Shadow, though their explorations of that motif are a far cry from traditional manifestations of love in the realm of art. Across four protracted songs, Turner and his cohortsNick Yacyshyn (Baptists, Erosion) on drums and Brian Cook (Russian Circles) on bassinterlace and mangle sounds from their instruments in a sonic homage to both the innate warmth of human magnetism and the cold realities of corrupted lovejealousy, obsession, perversion, addiction.
