Shane Embury is set to release his new dark ambient album, The Sacred Neurotic, under the banner of Dark Sky Burial, collaborating with Carl Stokes. The album explores the Jungian conflict between light and darkness within human nature and addresses the question of whether the neurotic perspective might hold truth. Embury highlights that this work represents a significant evolution in both vocals and musical direction compared to previous electronic-focused albums. The project promises a rich blend of tones and themes, culminating in a release on December 12 via Consouling Sounds, with special vinyl variants available.
Given the album’s exploration of the dualities of human nature, how do you think the interplay between light and darkness shapes our contemporary understanding of mental health?
