Tongues Of Light has been played on NTS shows including Samuel Kerridge, with "Healing" first played on 29 May 2016.

Tongues Of Light is a project helmed by Sam McLoughlin, releasing on the ephemeral label Pre-Cert Home Entertainment run by Andy Votel and Demdike Stare. Its 2016 debut album Channelled Messages at the End of History was followed in 2020 by The Myth Of Separation And Selfhood.

The project brings together samples of new age meditation, speakers of chaneled messages in the so-called Light Language, higher consciousness seekers and occult dwellers, all sourced from the bowels of YouTube's endless mind suck. On their own as an afternoon watch, experienced in full, they'd be grating or possibly just amusing; but when cut and assembled, padded with synth washes and ominous drone beds, they become something other. They achieve a psychedelic mantra, a through the television glass world of spectral freakishness.

It's new age sage for the ASMR generation, but instead of truly relaxing the listener with the subtle raindrop clop of fingernails and assured phrasing, the record winds up like a slow motion face-peel reveal of something glowing and gossamer beneath the surface. It never feels like a collage, the sampling here is so seamless that it just feels like the kind of lucid dream float that could only make sense in altered states, be your weapon of choice meditation or psychoactive toad. Pre-Cert is home to the types of records too weird and fractured for Modern Love or Finders Keepers, and this is definitely a kind of mission statement or high water mark for the label. For those with the right kind of ears, it's a welcome ride into the sweat-lodge nirvana of the mind.
