On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, the newly released album, Signs Of Life by Earthquake Lights, is a nine-track introspective journey reflecting experimentation and exploration under pressure.
Earthquake Lights
Brooklyn-based rock outfit Earthquake Lights defies easy categorization, blending elements of alt-rock, orchestral, jazz, and classical music. Their dense arrangements, featuring lush strings and intricate harmonies, create a unique and sophisticated sound that sets them apart. While they shy away from direct comparisons to jazz, their music undeniably draws inspiration from the genre’s rhythmic complexity and harmonic richness.
With a sound reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and Beck, Earthquake Lights has garnered millions of streams and critical acclaim. Their previous album, “Desert Bloom,” charted nearly 30 times on iTunes and Apple Music, and they’ve even collaborated with renowned artists like Vulfpeck. With features in Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, The Line of Best Fit, Ones to Watch, and Earmilk, Earthquake Lights has solidified their position as a rising force in the music industry.
Signs Of Life
Earthquake Lights’ new album, Signs of Life, is a deeply introspective journey of self-reflection and reckoning. Centered on themes of self-fulfilling prophecies and confronting past mistakes, the record explores the intersection of personal choices and life’s trajectory.
Signs of Life is a harmonically rich and eclectic album, ranging from experimental tracks to more accessible pop-oriented songs like ‘Pictures.’ This latter song delves into the nostalgia and romanticization of past relationships in the age of social media. Other notable tracks include ‘Silhouette,’ which contemplates the connection between music and space, and ‘Heartbeat,’ a poignant reminder to cherish loved ones in the face of adversity.
The album showcases Earthquake Lights’ commitment to craftsmanship and analog/acoustic instrumentation. In an industry obsessed with content, their music stands out with its unique and timeless sound.
We’re trying to make a timeless record that leans into traditions of music and playership, not the future of music. Samples and AI and drum loops are all amazing, but we’re trying to make records that celebrate humans. It took over 100 people to make this record, and I believe you can hear that in the sounds of this record.
