Peaking Lights are Aaron and Indra, a musical duo from Wisconsin who came to prominence last year with their debut album ‘936’. It’s an awesome listen, taking in sun-soaked reggae sounds, minimalist electronica, woozy, dreamy synths and some beautiful vocals to make your heart melt. Don’t be fooled though; there is nothing soppy or soft about this band. Their music might make you want to float away but their beats still maintain a rawness and power that is solidly structured, taking in dub, pop and a healthy dose of krautrock to make something truly special.
They’ve taken TOY’s new single ‘Motoring’ (released on the excellent Heavenly Recordings label) and turned it into a foot-stomping, scuzzy epic, making the most of the song’s natural highs and lows, while mixing insome magic drums to create something uniquely engaging.
Peaking Lights have a new album ‘Lucifer’ dropping on June 18th on the Weird World label. It features their son Mikko on some of the songs!
