The second album by Civil Service, following /// LIGHT comes DARK ///
Across its sprawling, atmospheric soundscapes, the record confronts the weight of mental health struggles, the silent toll of undiagnosed conditions, the futility of power against tyranny, and the desperate but faltering attempts to find solace in chaos.
“Where /// LIGHT searched for illumination, DARK /// is about all the walls we crash into along the way,” the band explains. “It’s isolation, despair, collapse—and the fractures in ourselves and our societies that we can’t escape.”
Custom CD sleeves, designed, printed and hand-assembled by Dark Peak Press. Gatefold sleeve, cut from 300gsm heavyweight, recycled black card stock.
