Dandelion Wine's latest album "All Becompassed By Stars" takes the increased energy and danceability of 2008's "Selected Anachronisms" to our new level of intensity, whilst simultaneous featuring some of the band's most ethereal and beautiful work to date. The result is an album of extremes, with a distinct dichotomy between the pounding beats of songs such as "Gravity" and the delicate acoustic flourishes of "Early Warning Sign" or the ambient textures of "Seven Times As Bright". However, even amid the most intense songs, the band's trademark use of medieval and world instruments is still clearly evident, with dulcimers, bell cittern and flutes ringing out over the fat analogue synths, big beats and cranked guitars.
