The Wake - A Light Far Out Vinyl (RSD 2013)

Factory Benelux presents a strictly limited vinyl edition of a Light Far Out, the fifth album by cult Factory/Sarah Records dreampop group the Wake. The pressing will be limited to 500 copies and released to mark Record Store Day on Saturday 20 April 2013. Re-emerging with well-received live shows in Brussels, London, Paris and New York, core duo Caesar (guitar, bass and vocals) and Carolyn Allen (keyboards and vocals) recorded a Light Far Out with producers Ian Catt (St Etienne), Duncan Cameron (Teenage Fanclub) and remixer Drew Diver of NYC-based duo Horse Shoes. 'Really it's been a process of rediscovery,' says Caesar. 'After getting back together to play the Factory Night at Plan K in Brussels in 2009, then going on to play a few more gigs, we set about making a fifth album. Hopefully it combines elements from our past recordings with our more recent work as the Occasional Keepers - to create something that resonates in the present day.'
