Today, Toronto musician Cold Specks released her long-awaited fourth album, Light For The Midnight, via Secret City Records in Canada and Mute internationally.
The album offers a soul-baring blend of piano-driven ballads and moody alt-pop, anchored by Al Spx’s raw, vulnerable songwriting.
Light For The Midnight is both intimate and expansive, marking a powerful return for the artist after years away from the spotlight.
About the album by Al:
Light for the Midnight is a 10-track collection of fervent ballads and atmospheric songs, with Spx’s soulful voice channeled into expansive sonic worlds. At its core, it is a raw and deeply emotional personal reflection on endurance, survival, and transformation.
The album was conceived during a challenging period in Spx’s life, with work beginning amidst struggles with her mental health, experiences that are deeply embedded in the music. Spx emphasises its universality, despite its personal origins: “I definitely wanted to reflect on the last couple of years because it impacted me so much, but I also wanted the audience to walk away with this album. You know, the songs belong to them once I release them.”
Light for the Midnight captures Cold Specks at her most vulnerable and powerful, weaving stories of struggle into stunning compositions that resonate deeply. It is an album of hope and transformation.
