The light shines is the expanded full band project for main man Sam Ferman, whose previous incarnation as a solo artist saw him amass a number of rave reviews for mind expanding, killer live shows. Stunning layered, looped guitar workouts recalling the genius of Manuel Gottsching with passing nods to Spacemen 3. The full band came into being midway through 2011 and the first fruits here point to a progression towards a more song based direction. A fabulous collision of 60s Garage, Sunshine pop, experimental Indie / Folk and even Indian classical music in places. Where heavy walls of sound clash with lush harmonies and showcase a fine ear for a vocal hook and a melody.
B side 'Love, The Amnesiac' is equally strong - a fabulous 45 released as an edition of 400 on The Great Pop Supplement.
This is a 7 inch vinyl.
