Every band faces a crossroads when making their second record, but Seattle’s Museum Of Light found clarity in the breathtaking landscapes of Ocean Sound studio in Giske, Norway. Amid icy fjords and aurora-lit nights, under the guidance of returning producer Scott Evans (Sumac, Thrice, Kowloon Walled City), they crafted Diviner, a record that melds crushing heaviness with ethereal melody and hushed introspection. Each day began with cold plunges in the Norwegian Sea, setting the tone for a bold evolution beyond their debut Horizon. New bassist Jeff Bartlett’s earth-shaking grooves, Elissa Alvarez’s transcendent vocals, and poet Amelia Urry’s haunting lyrics anchor Diviner in a world both raw and otherworldly. The result? A rad record born of mythic inspiration, fearless experimentation, and relentless creativity.
