- The album was released on Gira's own label, Young God Records, and features guest appearances from members of Current 93 and Nurse With Wound.
- Upon its release, "How I Loved You" was lauded for its raw emotional intensity and Gira's distinctive, commanding vocal delivery, solidifying its place as a cult classic in the neofolk and experimental rock scenes.
Angels of Light was the primary recording vehicle for Michael Gira, also of Swans. The project began in 1997, cataloging a more song-oriented, melodic, and darkly pastoral sound than his prior work.
