Belladonna Nocturne is intended as a thematic sequel to Belladonna, Daniel Lanois' moody, evocative album of ambient and dub instrumentals from 2005. While it maintains a similar feel and features some of the same personnel, it sounds like a venture into new terrain right from the start. "Cap Negre" is a short intro piece containing sporadic rhythms and heavily detailed yet spacious mixing, leading into the jazzy abstract drift of "At the Foot of the Skyway Bridge." Slightly haunting yet cool-headed and relaxed, the music paints an intoxicating nighttime scene. "Inside the Walls of Puebla" is more rustic, with sturdy, knocking drums and a Latin flair to the layered acoustic guitars. The deeply resonant piano piece "Snow Lake" seems far too texturally treated to label as ambient, bordering on musique concrète. "Marionette" dances to a gently playful, shaker-heavy rhythm. Lanois' signature steel guitar comes to the forefront on the patient, ruminative "The Black Sea." "Advent" is the album's centerpiece, and its most risk-taking experiment. While it isn't particularly dense or heavy, there's a palpable tension between the effects-treated guitars and tumbling drums, particularly set into motion during the occasional jump cuts. It gets particularly spine-chilling towards the end, when Emmylou Harris' wordless voice wails from the void a few times.
