A beast with twelve limbs and three throats, This Bright Apocalypse pillages the planet and regurgitates its sounds in an indie-world-math-dub-folk-prog cocktail.

DRUMS + Drums + drums + 4 Big strings + 6 Little strings + 3 VOICES.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is only the most recent in a number of lives. From 1996-1998 the beast toddled around in its infancy. 1999-2002 saw some CDR releases, two comps (Arborvitae Records “Foreign Nationals” and Varsity Records “The Starting Line-Up”) and a handful of tours. Then in 2003 it spread forth its spawn: A proper full-length on 54 40 or Fight Records entitled “Motion and Rest.” A brief buzz was followed by hibernation (read: singer went to Ghana as a Peace Corps volunteer).

2006 = Rebirth. 2008 = ASUMAYA (11 songs born in Ghana, not yet officially released, but already named one of the year’s best albums by the Onion’s Decider, Madison.
