A follow up to the hugely acclaimed US Billboard Independent album chart top 10 last album ‘The Things We Think We’re Missing’ from 2013, the band took some time off between albums and touring following drummer Bailey Van Ellis’s car accident, to regroup and refocus the band.

On first released single “Postcard,” the band loops electronic percussion, pulling sonic and structural influence from hip hop and R&B recordings, while “For A Walk” blends warped synthesizers with distorted lead vocals.

Produced by Will Yip (Nothing, Pity Sex), ‘Light We Made’ marks a milestone for the band. The LP’s coherent mood of transcendent moments are driven by the band experimenting with new sonic elements – weaving in dreamy synth chords, melodic guitar riffs, and atmospheric bass grooves and drum beats to hit home the delivery of the songs’ emotional lyrics.

A close listen of the album offers unexpected twists and turns around every corner. On “Spinning,” Simmons hypnotically repeats the title phrase, “The light we made / Into your eyes,” like a mantra, weaving the cryptic message in and out of the song. “Call It Losing Touch” inverts traditional the rock and roll structure with high-energy verses and a mellow, meditative chorus, and album closer “Loam” forgoes a euphoric climax in favour of pulling back for a dark, uneasy, introspective ending.
