about

2003 saw the band busy recording a new album for Camera Obscura (and Urtovox in Italy): "…No freeway, no plan, no trees, no ghosts". Post-production, mixing, editing and mastering was entrusted to Fabio Magistrali who added a spatial quality to the record that is quite different to the live directness of "Soundproof". The record sees first UVMMS vocal tunes, gauzy skeins of melody and recitation courtesy of Andrea Ferraris, member of the bands Deep End and One by One We're All Becoming Shades.

For their second full-length release, Ultraviolet Makes Me Sick go well beyond their original sparse remit and provide the listener with an exquisitely detailed and textured canvas to project their dreams onto. A wider range of instruments has been used to flesh out sonic ideas, and they've moved to a more layered studio sound. Despite this more consciously crafted approach, the predominant mood is airy and spacious, with the dynamic of the recording process giving each instrument full weight. The light and jazzy vibe of the opening "This is the season for rest, she said" is reversed on itself for the quiet guitar fire and enigmatic vocals of "Counter-clockwise" and we think that the distance the band has travelled from its debut is evident from these opening tracks alone. Elsewhere, the beautiful structures and nuanced playing match the poetry of titles like "Intimacy is Jazz, Disturbance is Art", "Brothers Fallen near Allen" and "Hearts and Minds Out of Tune and Reversed". It all adds up to a work of great beauty and resonance.
