Lights...they're the kind of girls who fit into Syd's world

Artist:
Lights is a trippy, psychedelic rock band out of Brooklyn, whose self-titled debut I reviewed recently for PopmattersLightsLights(Language of Stone)US release date: 22 April 2008UK release date: 28 April 2008by Jennifer KellyThere are two extraordinary things about this debut album from Brooklyn’s Lights. First, you have the close, eerie harmonies of Sophia Knapp and Linnea Vedder, sweet but with an edge of madness, casting flowers Ophelia-style into drowning currents of sound. Second, you have the guitar, filtered through every sort of pedal, different from song to song, but everywhere mesmerizing. When the two work together, as on the extended, mind-changing “Break, Run, Flyâ€, it is as if the female half of, say, Feathers had stepped in front of an early run-through of “Interstellar Overdriveâ€.
