Interview : Sweet Lights

Sometimes, it's just a real pleasure to do this sort of thing. The amount of great music I get to listen to, and the great people I get to speak to is really fantastic. To that list I can now add Philadelphia's Sweet Lights.


Formed by Shai Halperin, formerly of The Capitol Years who was also a band member with Kurt Vile in an early lineup of Adam Granduciel's The War On Drugs, this band trade in sweet and melodic soft pop, influenced by The Beatles and Daniel Johnston, and their self-titled new record is a thing of quiet beauty.

I interviewed Shai recently for The Line of Best Fit, and you can read the fruits of that by following this link.
