The Lights new album, Failed Graves, out nationally on April 27th!

Holy crap! I can't tell you how stoked we are to work with one our favorite bands of all time, the Lights! Their full length album, Failed Graves, is out everywhere at the end of April on Wäntage USA and shit is going to get heavy around the Riot Act Offices... stay tuned for more, way more, on this trio.

"In pre-anesthesia times when Doctors performed brain surgery, patients threw back whisky and bit down on leather to cope with the pain. Conscious, with their skulls opened, they encountered so much pain that they entered a trance like state of suspended hallucinatory shock where all was beautiful, no pain. This is what happens when you listen to the Lights." Trent Moorman, Seattle Weekly

"The coolest thing about the Lights is how they are able to take their UK post punk influences, travel up to the mountains to some isolated shack and boil them down in a still and come up with something that sounds like wild mountain men doing angular punk rock. Listening to the Lights reminds me of stuff like Gang of Four, Johnny Horton, Neil Young, New Model Army and Eleventh Dream Day, but they don’t really sound like any of those. The Lights have done something that many before them often fail to do, distill their influences into something acerbically unique." the Finest Kiss

"The Lights' sound has grown from the starker efforts of the past to a lusher and more detailed document that embellishes the band's angular, aggressive sound with sharper pop sensibilities." Hannah Levin, Rocket Queen

Here's a video from their last album from none other than Lynn Shelton, director of Humpday and MTV's upcoming $5 Cover Seattle (which the band costars in!), for the song "Setting Sun."
