Lightning Bug

Add Date: January 21

Artist: Lightning Bug

Album: October Song

Label: Marbled Arm

Genre: Indie rock, shoegaze, experimental pop

Comments: From the promoter: "Grounded in a tightly knit friendship and an intuitive musical bond, Lightning Bug’s music, an enveloping mix of rapturous shoegaze, longing balladry, and ambient soundscapes, sits at the centerpoint of a creative exchange among songwriter Audrey Kang, multi-instrumentalist Kevin Copeland, and producer Logan Miley. Despite a knack for sonic eclecticism, each Lightning Bug record holds a magnetic sense of cohesion. Lyrically, the songs document Audrey navigating a relationship with her own humanity, memories fraught with joy and pain, and the constant cycle of tension and release necessary in developing self-trust."

October Song is a beautiful album, fusing together shoegazey pop songs (a la artists like Frankie Rose or Tanukichan) with more experimental fare.

Recommended Tracks: 3, 2, 8, 9

DNP: none
