Sentinel - Point Of Light - New CD

 
 
We are very excited to announce the release of our new album, "Points of Light" coming out June 2nd! 


This summer marks a little over a year in the studio writing, recording, and finalizing our favorite ten songs from so many great ideas and sessions. This album has truly become a labor of all our efforts and spirits, and we are confident in saying this is our finest work to date. 


 
The gorgeous album art was designed by our drummer Billy, and was printed on Earth friendly packaging. The album will be available to purchase directly from our distributor, CDBaby on June 2nd.

 
A digital pre-sale of our album includes a free advanced single, just released today only through Bandcamp!

about

Points of Light album was recorded in Oakland, California in our home studio from spring of 2014-15. We painstakingly picked 10 songs for this album, out of a collection of 30 song ideas. Dennis Bestafka played on the guitars, Billy Mowery on the drums, and Tarabud was on vocals and the bass. Dennis, being an audio engineer, was able to track and mix all songs on Pro Tools. All instruments were live tracked. Final mastering of album done by The SoundLAB. Album art design was created by Billy. Poem inside album panel, written by Tarabud.

The album title means a lot to us, and is focused on constellations in the stars as a form of connectedness to the universe. Like stars in these constellations, we are all individuals tied together by fate, love, struggle and loss to shape our stories, like shapes in the night sky. As our intentions and actions either pull or push us in one direction or the other, still we become who we reach to become, through our own will guided by stars, the ethereal, the spiritual.

Conceptual lyric themes running deep within this album include: destinies written in the stars, recognition of California Native Americans, lost romances & lifestyles, innocence lost, rebirth from lost love, overcoming and dealing with self-esteem, human potentials, human interconnectedness, nature and divinity.
