Something about listening to “Lite Brite Sky” made me feel like I was watching members playing their parts. Perhaps it’s the way the track begins. After each listen a new instrument and melody appear. The vibe here is really chill and the dynamic creep. The drummer, while consistent, seems to hit a little harder as the song progresses and there’s more emphasis on the notes.
One of the more interesting aspects of this song is its actual theme which is the first time I heard of anything like this. I don’t even know how you think this up but it’s brilliant. On their Bandcamp page, they explain ”A dark take on light pollution, from the perspective of a moth that wastes its life away one night flying around a street light, while most of humanity remains blissfully unaware of that particular drama playing out every night.”
The band composed of Kevin DeHart (drums), Steve Dicks (bass), Roger Hughes (guitar), David Lane (Lap steel) and Michael Starks (vocals/keyboards/guitar) have an innate chemistry. Sometimes I listen to bands where the members seem to almost be competing for attention. The members here all seem to realize it’s the song you are ultimately serving not yourself. This philosophy creates space.
This was an easy song to appreciate and seeps into you in a meditative way. Some of this is because they play variations of the same theme. This is a typical single in some ways because it doesn’t force a soft and loud dynamic but instead nurtures the groove itself into something that feels alive and vibrant.
