Brooklyn again. This time it’s Quiet Lights who are set to create a stir, though they seem determined to go about it in an understated manner. The ‘About’ page of their website reveals that they are ‘Quiet Lights from Brooklyn, NY.’ Their Facebook page reveals that they are made up of Chris Curtis, Robin Fowler, Nikhil Kamineni, Yseult Tyler and Marcus Smith. Marcus has revealed that he is formerly of Gods & Queens and Argentine. And that’s your lot; beyond that all you have is the music. Which is a good thing.

Blending the sonic wall-of-sound of early 90s shoegaze with the current lurching haziness of dream pop, their sound is ethereal and translucent yet pressing and powerful. We Live In Balloons in particular hits the nail they seem to be aiming at squarely on the head.

While they busy themselves with applying the finishing touches to their debut album, they have released a free sample e.p. Go get it here, because it’s glorious and take five to watch their video for Twice Today.
