Source-derived summary

Out of Light is the debut studio album of American electronic music producer and DJ Slushii, consisting of 13 songs, that was self-released under his label, Slushii on 4 August 2017.

Background

Slushii announced the album on July 21, 2017, on Twitter. Each song from the album consists of his own "cartoonish and pitched-up" vocals.

Announcement of the album was made as Slushii underwent an emergency appendectomy. Hospitalized in Paris, his small bowel had to be removed as it troubled him.

Singles

Previous recorded songs by Slushii such as "Dear Me", "My Senses", "Step By Step" and "I Still Recall", were also included in the album.

"Forever" on the album is a reworked version of a Deuteronomy B-side titled "Hold Me Forever", the band which Scanlan was a member from 2009 until 2013.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Out of Light” as album by Slushii. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Light, album and Slushii.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2017, 2009, 2013—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2017. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Light, album and Slushii providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Out of Light”, the useful work is to connect “album by Slushii” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q39058386. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2009 and 2013.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
