Mixtape Music Mondays: Peaking Lights - ‘936’

* PEAKING LIGHTS ‘936’ *



facebook.com/PeakingLights

Husband and Wife duos of late have tended to produce twee folksy pop, Peaking Lights are breaking that trend. Their sound is ambient and psychedelic with a dub edge, laid back and hazy, sun-speckled and nostalgic. The instruments evoke another era whilst the production remains resolutely modern, layers of warped sounds build over the percussive rhythms whilst the reverb-affected vocals wash over the top. Every listen brings something new to your attention but despite all the elements in play, this is a very light and airy sounding record. It isn’t a beach record in the classic sense but it is one that will transport you somewhere sunnier, somewhere you will want to go and lose yourself in

 **********

Mixtape Recommends: ‘Hey Sparrow’, wonderfully wobbly, woozy, wind-up psychedelic dub, ‘Tiger Eyes (Laid Back)’ and ‘Synthy’

‘936’ is a critics favourite, see what they have been saying here:

‘a sound longing for yawning daylight, for beaches baring fresh footprints and terrain coloured by the scorched hazel of a naked sun’ - DiS

‘Peaking Lights make sure everything is carefully plucked, arranged delicately, and given room to breathe, with the groove handling the heavy lifting.’ - Pitchfork

‘From-here-it-all-looks-so-insignificant spaced-out synthy ambience leads into a psychojourney through shuffling, organic beats, cosmically detached vocals, dubbish grooves, faint touches of psychobilly-twangin’ guitar and boney rattles… definitely worth an initiation’ - NME

‘a pulsating fusion of burbling analogue synthesisers and ancient psychedelia occasionally topped off by the echoey vocals of Indra Dunis’ - Guardian
