Cold Specks returns with her fourth album, Light for the Midnight.
Following the acclaim of her first three records (I Predict a Graceful Expulsion [2012], Neuroplasticity [2014], and Fool’s Paradise [2017]), Cold Specks (Al Spx) has solidified her reputation as a singular voice in modern music. From her spellbinding acapella performance on Later… with Jools Holland to collaborations with Moby, Massive Attack, and Michael Gira of Swans, Cold Specks has consistently delivered artistry that resonates.
With Light for the Midnight, she embarks on her most personal journey yet. At its core, the album is a raw and deeply emotional reflection on endurance, survival, and transformation. A collection of fervent ballads and atmospheric pop songs, it channels Spx’s soulful voice into expansive sonic worlds.The album was conceived during a challenging period in Spx’s life. Work began in 2019 amidst struggles with mental health, experiences that are deeply embedded in the music. Yet, despite its personal origins, Spx emphasises its universality: “I definitely wanted to reflect on the last couple of years because it impacted me so much, but I also wanted the audience to walk away with this album. You know, the songs belong to them once I release them.”
