The Lights
The Lights release their new single Mostly Water. Taken from their current album Teenager of the Century, a culmination of a two year development, which has seen the band hone and deliver a smash of a debut album.
Produced by renowned sonic guru Gavin Monaghan (Travis, Editors & Kings of Leon) the album is a stunning mix of light and shade. It sees the band shake off their indie shackles, roaming into folk fields, all underpinned by treacle smooth harmonies and the expertise of five musicians who intertwine effortlessly.
‘… this band is about ready to explode’ Indie London
‘The Lights' debut album is a real statement of quality.’ Totally Vivid
The last twelve months have seen the band ping on to the media radar with more and more regularity. BFBS Radio were among the bands first supporters before they quickly became firm favourites with Radio 2’s Janice Long and Q Radio’s Caroline Beavon with the band playing live sets on both national stations. Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and Chris Hawkins have also proved to be fans featuring the band on their 6 music shows
The Lights consist of five bright-eyed individuals with the heart and determination to take their music to the masses. Their sound is like nobody else and if you think you have heard that PR line before, we challenge you to spin the single and make up your own mind. Unique, eclectic and intimately epic underpinned by Liz Shiels breathless vocal.
‘…they are a challenge to pigeonhole. Imagine Elvis Costello writing lyrics for ELO’ NME
'Belle and Sebastian if they’d been raised on the Eagles rather than the Velvet Underground'- Gobshout
Last year saw The Lights gig extensively and word spread to promoters. This year has included a handful of festivals on the live calendar including Strummerville, Raglan Festival, Birmingham Artsfest and the Good weekend Festival. The band also chalked up numerous radio plays around the UK from regional BBC Shows.
Now the band play Tribfest 2012 for the first time
