Topu Lyo and Randy Bergida have a 20-year history of playing and traveling together covering sizable swaths of North America all the while recording conversations into a minidisc player which they convey in their record Darkness Sunshine. The topogaphy of the subject matter is as varied and expansive as the ground theyve traveled. The fruit of those conversations is Darkness Sunshine, an album that re-configures roots tradition via acoustic cello-guitar arrangements and choralesque voca harmonies for an ambience thats at once intimate and immense.
