I've had a promo of electro-pop broad LIGHTS' forthcoming album The Listening (out on Sire/Warner Bros. on October 6) sitting here for about a month or so, and I finally dug it out on Sunday.Listening to it kind of gives the same feeling as the first time I heard Michelle Branch's The Spirit Room many moons ago—I can't believe this surprisingly mature, dreamy pop music is coming from a 22-year-old!
There really isn't a filler track on the whole LP, and hopefully LIGHTS gets as much press and hype as La Roux, Lady GaGa, Little Boots, etc. Because she deserves it.
Here's the video clip of LIGHTS' new single "Saviour" (available on iTunes now), which sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of some fantasy flick a la Stardust:
