Now, CBL returns with a fifth studio album, Derelicts, an amalgamation of every step of the pair’s journey so far and a reflection on the tenebrous future in store for mankind. CBL’s discography spans five albums, a spattering of EPs, a film soundtrack, and a variety of compilation appearances, all of which simply aren’t enough for the passionate fans who delight at every second produced by the duo. Throughout the band’s history, CBL has delivered an experience rather than just background noise, playing festivals, private events, and even the digital planetarium at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. And yet, the unifying quality in the CBL discography is passion – each track meticulously constructed and assembled with care to produce music that’s all at once thought-provoking, calming, reassuring, and introspective.
