Perfect Light is the first 40 Watt Sun album created without a full, formal band structure. Patrick Walker enlisted an array of accomplished musicians to fulfil his vision for the album, including, among others, Andrew Prestidge and Roland Scriver (The Osiris Club), Ajit Gill (Vertaal), Lorraine Rath (Amber Asylum/Worm Ouroboros), and pianist/composer Chris Redman.
Alongside Patrick's poignant and emotive vocals, his poetic lyrics remain central to the allure of the songs, with their composition strong enough to be evocative even when absorbed aside from the music. With no intention to make deliberately dark music, the album contains shards of hope and light to pierce through the pensiveness.
The first vinyl pressing including a 28-page booklet featuring lyrics and photography plus bonus 12” single in a unique picture sleeve, featuring two alternative versions of album tracks, including a version of "Reveal" recorded with Emma Ruth Rundle.
