Wise-Magraw - How the Light Gets in - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Brass Are Comin' (1969) Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - with original artwork.

Givers is a band made up of five friends from Lafayette, Louisiana - it should be stated that the music they make is simply an ongoing reflection of their bond. Givers brings you their first full-length, IN LIGHT, recorded during breaks from touring, which is a major priority of the band. IN LIGHT was mixed by Ben Allen (Cee-Lo, M.I.A., Matt & Kim, Animal Collective).

'Where The Light Gets In' is the debut album from Ben Barnes. The title of the album reflects the hopefulness of the songs, and the perspective earned through lived experience. Ben's personal hope for these songs is that they encourage finding clarity when life feels sombre, feeling powerful when pain tells you you're vulnerable and lovable when the world tries to tell you that you're not enough as you are. The album is about the different stages of a relationship; beginnings, tension, sorrow, S*x, love, endings... nostalgia. It's about how our history and our scars configure to make us who we are in this moment. If a part of us has ever felt broken, we can mend... transforming ourselves into something more precious than we were before. The album was recorded at Apogee Studios in Santa Monica with the band all together, including James Valentine and Sam Farrar (Maroon 5) who also produced the record along with drummer/manager, Paul Hamilton.
