about

Light In August, Later is the collection of unreleased, compilation, remixes and collaborations between 2006-2008, this compilation was released for aus first Australia tour 2009.

It's a measured and paced collection of pieces that evoke warm visions of open plains, sun causing mirages to gather on the ground. In this vision the detail of the environment close at hand somehow becomes united with the epic horizon laid out beyond it. It is in fact this relationship between focused detail and sweeping texture that is at the very heart of this edition.
Matching cycled melodic passages with tiny electronic clicks and tones, aus generates a music that borrows the harmonic intent of pop but reduces it to a fine grain. Melodies blossom, are swept up in a gauze of processing and become transformed into something exquisitely intimate and engaging.
Collaborating with Viennese musician Glim on two pieces, and joined by artists such as Cokiyu on others, this is a record that speaks to aus's abilities not only as a composer, but also a sound crafter of the highest order. An essential and compelling deconstruction of electronic infused pop by one of Japan's most impressive young artists.

"sounds harmoniously chiming closer, a vision of a peaceful life, warmth and sunlight, sheer light flooding huge expanses of land and sea...without any doubt the music on ‘Light in August, Later’ really is a dream and it doesn’t disguise its purpose one bit." - Tokafi

"tinkering piano’s, the odd glitch, distorted ambient textures and even a little lullaby" - A Strangely Isolated Place

"the merging of gentle organic & synthetic musics to create a very pleasant sound world" - Norman Records

"Fukuzono conjures a natural-sounding electro-acoustic world that's closer in spirit to a becalmed oasis than an untamed forest. As a result, the album's expansive, sun-dappled evocations prove far more seductive than threatening" - Textura

I adore both of these, so even tho I chose Moth, I honestly couldn't choose. I wish these were put in liquid form, so I could have this A/B put straight into my veins. mcfingus

the Kofu collection conjure up haunting images of an old world using modern collage technics. Meitei (meaning intoxicated) has produced some of the most beautiful music I have heard in recent years. Many thanks. chrisalletson

Tunes 2011 to 2019

supported by 4 fans who also own “Light in August, Later”

A fantastic assembly of Burial's blanket of singles and EP's over 8 years, expertly arranged as cohesively as any single album. Yes, 2016's 'Untrue' is his calling card, but this is certainly a greater wingspan, a deeper breath and a place to spend many more long nights. The new essential. Burlap Productions
