Search - Lights :: Rites

Lights are a Brooklyn musical troupe that have shaped Psychedelic mojo Pop into a serpentine smoke ring, floating over both New York's forbidding urban scapes and the West Coast's sunshine vibes. By which we mean that their songs are the lovechild of American Soul music, Country, Metal, Psychedelic Rock, Disco and New Age. For Lights, the Funkadelic diaper is an essential part of the P-Funk experience. There are no extraneous details. The look is as much of the encounter as the music. Whatever they were in a previous life, Lights aren't rocks or seaglass, beautiful but incapable of perception. They've got eyes and ears, they're human. No wait they're more than that! They're like a pool that everyone comes diving in and climbing out of. And algae gathers over time. And the sun and the moon shimmer on their surface.
