Peaking Lights - 936

Review by Simon Jay Catling

If you’ve refrained from taking advantage of more illegal means of hearing this thus far in 2011, you really have no excuse not to listen to this subtly charming record.»

Buy now from:

re-released in the uk on weird world on marshmallow yellow vinyl. fantastic album of kraut-dub rhythms and groove wave that sounds like a long lost on u sounds classic from back in the day. sophomore album by this madison, wi kraut-dub soundsystem super family is easily the greatest set of tranced post-reggae hyno-pop they've ever recorded / released. peaking lights always pull its listeners into a faded polaroid of the pacific ocean whenever the ethereal pop sensibilities of vocalist-keyboardist indra dunis join forces with the reverberated guitar and twitching sonics of aaron coyes. the album is crawling with warm sounds from electrical frankenstein coyes' suitcases of self-rewired household electronics, rewired guitar pedals, and manipulated thrift-store keyboards.
