Soft drum beats, tingling electronica sputters, and angelic, layered choir vocals join together to paint an aural portrait of a beautiful, glittering star shower in “Lower Your Eyelids To Die With The Sun,” the final track off of the 2005′s brilliant Before The Dawn Heals Us. Clocking in at 10:42 minutes, the slow-climbing, cyclical surge of synthesized hope is a crucial addition to the late night soundtrack–and nothing short of an audio epic.

Don’t miss out on this one, as well as the entire album, which can be found here.
