Bleached Cross & The True Faith – Columns of Impenetrable Light | Black-in-Clear with Splatter 12" Vinyl
Catalog #: ALC-128-LP-1

“Two titans of modern gloom join forces—what follows is transcendent, textured, and terrifyingly beautiful.”

Columns of Impenetrable Light is a collaborative summit between two of the most forward-thinking names in indie post-punk and darkwave: Bleached Cross and The True Faith. Released by A La Carte Records on a mesmerizing black-in-clear splatter 12" vinyl, this record is both a sonic sculpture and a collector’s must-have.

The album reads like a shared séance. Bleached Cross brings their signature apocalyptic shoe-gaze and cathedral-scale melancholy, while The True Faith injects cold, clinical precision and lyrical intimacy. Together, they build an expansive, emotionally fraught soundscape—equal parts ritual and revelation.

From the opening track’s slow, thunderous burn to the ghostly finale, Columns of Impenetrable Light flows like one long, icy exhale. Guitars that shimmer and shatter, synths swelling like tides, and vocals trading between sorrowful croons and distant cries. It’s music that demands your stillness, then rewards it with catharsis.
