Twilight EP

　At the heart of Lusine’s 2009 full-length A Certain Distance lies the song “Twilight”, a placid, vocal-led downtempo lullabye. If “Two Dots”, A Certain Distance’s luminous first single, was the album’s knockout blow, “Twilight” is its victory lap—similar in scope and instrumentation but calmer in execution, its gently chugging drum programming and billowing puffs of Rhodes providing a weightless base for Vilja Larjosto’s voice, clear and knowing as ever. “What do you know about the ancients?” / What do you know about the future?” Larjosto intones as the song walks on air, evoking an appropriately thoughtful mood to match the song’s titular half-light.
