Double LP version. Dark Sky represent progression. The London duo have never settled for a specific sound nor dwelled in a single niche too long. What's striking about all their releases is their passionate love for all kinds of electronic music, not exclusively dancefloor related. This is no different with Othona, the second album from Dark Sky on Monkeytown. Across nine tracks, Matt Benyayer and Tom Edwards manage to reinvent themselves once more by merging contemporary techno, classic electronica, and their roots in British bass music into a touching and thrilling whole. With releases on Black Acre, 50Weapons, Tectonic, and Mister Saturday Night, Dark Sky have proved their versatility. There's the vibrant deep house of In Brackets (2013), the colorful two-step and breakbeat excursions on Black Rainbows (ACRE 033EP, 2012) and the vocal-laden melancholia of imagin (MONKEY 048CD/LP, 2014). Othona picks up on the sound of their 2014 debut and tweaks it just in the right spots. Matt and Tom left vocals off altogether and left the intriguing melodies, shape-shifting rhythms, and heavy bass do all the dramatic work. A large part of Othona is the result of Dark Sky's touring experience. Years of putting together their live sets encouraged them to focus on hardware instruments and samplers, preferring a more hands-on approach to computer screens. The album is also heavily inspired by photos and field recordings they took of isolated structures within different landscapes. One particular location which caught their attention was Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex, which is based on an ancient Roman fort called Othona. Othona is always challenging and never takes the easy route, but it's tracks constantly reveal the purest form of beauty. The title track opens the album and gently introduces it's musical range with emotive pads, elaborate beat programming, and subtle club signifiers, which steadily develops into the epic mid-tempo trance of "Domes". The slightly nostalgic synth melodies and cute bleeps of "Badd" bring to mind classic Aphex, which is never a bad thing, while "The Walker" channels ubiquitous melancholy into a standout moment of euphoria. Dark Sky are never short of emotional elements, but they know very well where to put them. Just listen to closing track "Field Tower", giving the kick drum it's final overwhelming appearance - no doubt that this is going to be a highlight in their new live set.

Not what I envisioned
The linen looks like cotton and the lapel is VERY wide. The sleeve are too long for the size I ordered. I had to spend an additional $50.00 for alterations.

costume and professional
This is a fun suit and would be amusing to wear to a date. It screams out pompous in a delightful way.
I like the fit overall and while not perfect it wears well enough. Best of all is that I can dance in it.
I attached some media so that you can get a crystal clear idea about what this suits appearance is.
The bottomline is that most people will find this suit playful and maybe even a bit classy.

Got these for a wedding and am pretty impressed
I was invited to a wedding and needed a white suit. I saw this linen suite and couldn't pass it up, especially for the price. When the suit came in, I was very happy with the fit and feel of both the suit and pants. The material feels like decent quality and on par with what I would expect, given the price. So if you are going to an event or simply want an extra suit then check this out, you may be surprised like I was.

Smooth Look
I wore this to an outside wedding and it looked great and I had multiple people compliment me on the suit. It is made of linen so it is a little more casual and comfy than regular suits and works well in the summer or for outdoor events. I am 5'8" and 160lbs and the small fits me well. I would say for the jacket you want it to be a few inches bigger than your actual chest measurement and then choose the correct size for your pant waist.

Pleasantly surprised
When I first ordered this suit, I wasn't sure if I had made the right decision. When I looked at the sizing chart, I was kind of in between sizes. I'm 5'11" and 195 lbs, with a muscular build. Given the size chart, my pant size was more of a medium, and my jacket size was a large. In this case, I decided to go with a medium, and favor the pant size. I'm actually quite glad that I did that, because the pants fit me very nicely. The jacket is a little tight on me, and buttoning it up is probably something I won't be able to do very effectively, but I'd rather have a snug jacket, then loose fitting pants. I like the color quite a bit, and the fabric is quite comfortable. Of course, it needs a steam, so please try not to focus on that too much with the pictures that I posted. Anything made of linen will wrinkle easily, so it will need that type of attention paid to it more often than not. The jacket is very nicely made, and not as thin as I was expecting. As a matter of fact, when I think of linen, I think of a thin garment. This suit has more thickness to it than I anticipated, and I actually appreciate that. It feels more like a business suit, then a leisure suit. I also like the tailoring of the pants, and find them very flattering for my lower body. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. I only wish I could have had the pants in medium, and the jacket in a large, but given the choice I think I chose wisely.
