About This Item
2011 album from the Alt-Rock boy/girl duo comprised of Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe. Lights Out, co-produced by Underwood and Dean Reid, emerges from it's bedroom beginnings as a collection of 12 deeply personal songs with universal appeal, innately tapping into the innocence, insecurity, wonder and (sometimes unrequited) love and lust of relationships. The album opens with the nostalgic sweep of 'Distant Neighborhood', a blissful, sun-kissed introduction. The raw, confessional 'Talk' perfectly illustrates the push-pull of relationships, 'Seraphine' is enchanting in it's deep reflection while 'Homework' is achingly beautiful in it's schoolyard simplicity. 'Locked Up', a wall-of-sound swoon fleshed out from it's early recordings, could well be one of the most raggedly affecting love songs this year. Overall, these are songs which are structurally sparse yet emotively rich, sweet and seductive yet raw and jagged. Mute. Album Tracks 1. Distant Neighborhood 2. Chair 3. Cool Like Kurt 4. Swoon 5.
