RELEASE DESCRIPTION

Clear Light, Dark Matter: Big Hits and Near Misses is a career retrospective that reveals the many layers of Wang Chung's music. This exclusive single vinyl set of their greatest hits spans the band's four-decade career. More than just a collection of tracks, the album showcases the duality that defines Wang Chung: the upbeat, infectious energy of songs like "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" and "Dance Hall Days" balanced with deeper, complex rhythms and experimental production techniques. The album title, Clear Light, Dark Matter, reflects the band's ability to bridge different musical worlds effortlessly. Tracks like "Dance Hall Days" blend African Burundi shuffle rhythms with electronic elements and rock instrumentation. At the same time, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" intertwines a Motown-inspired chord structure with modern dance production. These songs reveal Wang Chung's penchant for blending styles such as funk, pop, rock, and even prog elements. Often within a single track, creating a rich, multilayered soundscape. With its mix of radio hits and deeper cuts, this collection is a testament to the band's influence and innovation across multiple genres.
