Darling the Dawn is the first full-length studio album by Canadian post-rock duo All Hands_Make Light.
A brief review for BrooklynVegan by Andrew Sacher considers this music a mixture of Broken Social Scene and Godspeed! You Black Emperor. [1] Nicholas Sokic rated this release an 8 out of 10 for Exclaim! , writing that "the guitar-free, orchestral shoegaze is propped up by a treasure trove of Montreal's independent music scene". [2] In Uncut , Sharon O'Connell gave Darling the Dawn a 7 out of 10, calling it "luminous" with "soundscapes that shift across drone, ancestral chant, shoegaze and a forlorn take on sacred music, lent extra otherworldly heft by Engle’s beauteous vocals". [3]
The album was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. [4]
