"Darling the Dawn" is the debut studio album by Canadian post-rock duo All Hands_Make Light.

Reception

A brief review for BrooklynVegan by Andrew Sacher considers this music a mixture of Broken Social Scene and Godspeed! You Black Emperor.[1] Nicholas Sokic rated this release an 8 out of 10 for Exclaim!, writing that "the guitar-free, orchestral shoegaze is propped up by a treasure trove of Montreal's independent music scene".[2] In Uncut, Sharon O'Connell gave Darling the Dawn a 7 out of 10, calling it "luminous" with "soundscapes that shift across drone, ancestral chant, shoegaze and a forlorn take on sacred music, lent extra otherworldly heft by Engle’s beauteous vocals".[3]

The album was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize.[4]
