Pale Lights - Pale Lights [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. Final release from this beloved NYC group with one last glorious batch of shimmering janglepop / RIYL: Weather Prophets, Go-Betweens. This is purported to be the last Pale Lights release, as Phil Sutton has told me that he's retiring the name now that he's more active with his Love, Burns project. Although three of these songs have been previously released (including their recent Slumberland singles club 7" and an obscure compilation track, which weren't included on the recent "Waverly Place" collection), the other five tracks are all brand new, and not-surprisingly fit perfectly in the band's oeuvre of crystalline jangly pop that goes well alongside Weather Prophets, Felt & the Go-Betweens. You may be tempted to mourn their passing, but please remember that Love, Burns are just as adept at the same style of shimmering strummy guitars and warm organs, so please keep up!
