简介:
City Light was started by Seattle singer songwriter Matt Shaw with long time friend and bay area producer Nick Andre, who's releases have featured Gift Of Gab, Lateef, Lyrics Born and more. As the project progressed they called upon musician and producer Denver Dalley from Desaparecidos, Statistics, and Intramural and Seattle singer songwriter Andy Fitts from Airport Cathedral and Aqueduct. Together the four of them worked to create one record from three corners of the country that mixed genres of indie-pop, rock , and hip hop. The end result is a dark and unique pop record full of catchy tunes, experimental electronica, and driving beats. \nPress:\n"City Light is a long-distance collaboration, a la the Postal Service...The result of their far-flung efforts seems, oddly enough, strongly tied to a particular environment: the urban spaces inhabited by restless, struggling youth. "Hwy 99" is about life on Aurora, "where the Super 8 is a Hilton \u002F and sirens are lullabies." The less-gloomy "Let's Not Speak" reworks the oft-reworked formula of "opposites attract": "You like poets \u002F I like movie stars \u002F I like records \u002F You like hits \u002F We both hate sunny days." It sounds like a sped-up Casiotone for the Painfully Alone record: fragile, longing vocals over gritty guitars and synth-tones, with some bumping electronic beats." \nMichael Connelly @ Seattle Sound Magazine \n"Initially devised by Seattle-based Matthew Shaw and then developed further by Nick Andre, Andy Fitts, and the well-known indie maestro Denver Dalley (Desaparecidos and Statistics), Down the Pacific is an album that will knock you on your ass" \nExoduster.com \n"Electronic video-game-informed soundscapes underlie a special imprint of young urbanite loneliness, but with a particular kind of upbeat energy: you can definitely hear the fabulous Aqueduct in there, and Her Space Holiday also seems to linger. Expect hooks, melodies and reluctant angst of a highly enjoyable nature." \nJenna Hunphrey @ Noise Pop \n"I am most interested in the debut of City Light. It is a project from singer-songwriter Matthew Shaw that works with a few artists across the country (a la a more ambitious Postal Service)" \nChris Burlingame @ Three Imaginary Girls
