Attic Lights

Untitled EP

Drinking from the same sweet Californian fountain of four part harmonies and pedal steel guitar as the Beach Boys and Teenage Fanclub, Attic Lights have been around for about five minutes and have been making some mean waves already. They have been played on all the Scottish radio stations that matter and have been on telly a few times, including as the subject of a special, on Scottish TV’s Nochd Gunn Chadal (what do you mean you’ve never heard of it?!).

They sound like The Thrills with balls (which to be fair, wouldn’t be hard), with a strong lead vocal embraced by the harmonies and a lovely Neil Young-esque crunchy guitar. A little less saccharine than the Cosmic Rough Riders but with their same pop sensibilities.

This EP has three cracking little nuggets of sunshine, each one the perfect antidote to the fast approaching winter.

Visit www.atticlights.com to hear lots of their tunes including their lovely soundtrack to recent indie movie ‘Midnight Oil’.
