Lighthouses

Dec 03, 2008 Posted Under: Featured Sounds

Alas, I have found a new local band that I feel like I should mention to anyone reading! They are called Lighthouses. Tagged with “Think Justice meets Bowie crossed with Bloc Party”. they have an interesting sound that I am enjoying listening to on the world that is myspace. Influenced by Surkin, Justice, Kitsune etc. the sounds of the French electro scene is apparent within their tracks, however there is an undertone of the Bloc Party genre and Bowie-esque sounds are apparent.

The duo consist of Joe Boyle, and Richard Williams and they use synths, drum machines, guitars, bass, macbooks and vocals to produce their electro-indie pop tracks. Their myspace profile currently has a few of their recent tracks on and they are playing live at Liquid/Envy in Portsmouth on the Waster night tomorrow (4th December). They are also due to play at the Windsor Liquid Club on the 22nd December. They seem to take their influences from most of the music I love to listen to, which is always nice! I see a lot of potential coming from these guys and I hope to keep track of how they do in the future. Check them out…
