June 6th, 2010 by Shopping Bag Screaming Lights is your new favorite bandThe album “Like Angels” took two years to complete, but it was worth the wait. The sound is 100% classic dark Brit rock (these boys hail from Liverpool) in the vein of Idlewild and White Lies and Editors, with obvious influences from the originators of British gloom indie rock Joy Division and the Comsat Angels. Their debut album “Like Angels” features organs, dirty guitars, solid tempos and a singer whose voice carries beautiful melodies and the scratchy weariness of person who has been through the ringer a few times. Listening to the lyrics for “Hello Tomorrow” gives listeners a glimpse of the cynicism and anger that pervades their music in what is a choleric condemnation of the notion that every new day brings new opportunities: “You’re a butt face lie, a monster in disguise! I shook your hand, the purple veins, you’ve got shit for brains.” Check them out on MySpace.com or Facebook. Tags: Brit rock, Indie rock, melancholy, moody, Screaming Lights |
