Limited edition yellow vinyl LP, printed outer sleeve, polylined inner. Ranked #6 in The Wire’s Top 50 albums of its year, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day returns in a stunning limited edition yellow vinyl LP, housed in a printed outer sleeve with polylined inner. Originally released in 2018, this album stands as a cornerstone of contemporary minimalism and a defining statement in the catalog of Sarah Davachi. Recorded primarily with Mellotron and electric organ, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day feels like a return to the nest: burrowed in the studio, Davachi was the sole performer, chiseling careful and shadowed hymns-anchors of emotion that both expand her compositional architecture and re-contextualize the essence of her early output. The album’s pillars, “Mordents” and “Buhrstone,” explore her love for progressive rock and the somber gravity of early music, gently plucking melodies and movements that evoke baroque and funereal atmospheres. The remaining works are tonal meditations, slow jets of lapping harmonics that blur the lines between the conscious and the unconscious, barely there and yet indisputably present.

Davachi’s approach, influenced by the minimalist legacies of La Monte Young, Pauline Oliveros, and Eliane Radigue, is rooted in the phenomenology of sound-favoring patience, restraint, and the subtle interplay of timbre and resonance. Each composition unfolds with a sense of nocturnal introspection, inviting listeners into a liminal space where dusk, memory, and imagination intermingle. Critics have described the album as a gradual enshrouding, a music that “drones on like the sky perishing into pink,” demanding no observer, yet leaving a profound imprint on all who listen.

With this reissue, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day reaffirms its place as a quietly radiant and immersive work-an album that rewards deep listening and stands as a testament to Davachi’s singular vision.
