Needle Drop: Peaking Lights, “Breakdown”

Drawing from the sound and spirit of reggae and dub, married-duo Indra Dunis and Aaron Coyes, otherwise known as Peaking Lights, our gearing up to release their newest release Cosmic Logic.

Sounding light years ahead of their debut 936, Peaking Lights get things started with the blinking single “Breakdown.” It is about as glossy as this couple gets, with Indra’s monochromatic delivery remaining artfully low key and Aaron’s crate digging production bouncing blissfully below. There is no denying the quirkiness inherent in the duo’s new material, complimented by some well-placed panning and squiggly high end synths.

According to a press release, the LP is a “heady brew of dub, kraut, minimal house, disco and pop influence all rendered in the inimitable Peaking Lights fashion. This time round, however, the band have gone for a more concise, lean approach — abandoning some of their previous work’s psychedelic sprawl for a more pure pop experience thanks to the sounds designed by Aaron himself.”

Originally from San Francisco, the band now resides in LA where they are raising their two children, indulging in the new age wonders Hollywood has to offer, and channeling their heady visions into wonderfully awkward Alternative Pop.
