Monday's Long Song

 

Yesterday I featured the new song by Coyote and I mentioned that this song was inspired by Peaking Lights, a band I never heard before. Some research revealed that they are an American husband-and-wife duo who have been releasing music regularly for more than a decade. A few years ago they said goodbye to the West Coast to live in Amsterdam.

Each of the members, Indra Dunis and Aaron Coyes, started their career in various post-punk, goth and psychedelic bands before they decided to make music together. Their sound could be described as a lo-fi melange of dub, psychedelic pop and krautrock. In 2012 they released their opus magnum Lucifer and in the same year they released  Lucifer In Dub with edits of their former album.

And yes, although they are not from Jamaica, they have a feel for how to make a good dub version.

Since Lucifer they still creates free-flowing, repetitive to narcotic dub designs with drums, Hammond, synths and voice.
