This is a vibrant collection of songs and sounds excavated by songwriter Dawn McCarthy and supported by steadfast collaborator Nils Frykdahl of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. 'Light Of A Vaster Dark' sparkles with fear, wonder and playfulness while meditating on the cyclical nature of light and darkness as revealed in the seasons of life, and in the beautiful power of steadfast and humble tales of housekeeping, immigrant pioneers, and a civic parade. Features the violins of Meredith Yayanos and the vocals and multi-instrumental touches of Kirana Peyton, Cornelius Boots' driving bass clarinets and shakuhachi flutes, and Mark Stikmans' rich harmonica tones.
