LIGHTS TO RELEASE NEW ACOUSTIC ALBUM, MIDNIGHT MACHINES, APRIL 8
PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW
VIDEO FOR ACOUSTIC VERSION OF “METEORITES” PREMIERED INTERNATIONALLY ON NYLON TODAY
04 MARCH 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Electro-pop artist Lights today unveiled Midnight Machines, an album comprised of six acoustic songs from her third studio album Little Machines (September 2014), plus two brand new songs, set for April 8 release via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Midnight Machines is available for pre-order starting today. The never-before-heard tracks are “Follow You Down” and “Head Cold”, and the leading single is an acoustic version of “Meteorites”. The video for the acoustic version of “Meteorites” premiered internationally on NYLON today. Check it out here. The video for “Meteorites” was shot entirely in reverse and was recorded in Toronto. Lights even had to sing every lyric backwards and at double speed during the filming, an undeniably impressive feat. "Midnight Machines is more than just an acoustic record, it's a complete reinvention of some of the songs from Little Machines,” said Lights. I worked with a string section and my band to create this ultra vibey, late night version. Making the video for Meteorites was almost as interesting to work on because I had to learn the song backwards and sped up to create the slow surreality of the shots." Midnight Machines is Lights’ third acoustic album, a tradition that started when she reinterpreted her first studio release, and it has carried through on every album. This time, Lights worked with a string quartet on completely new and full arrangements that breathe completely different life into their electro-rock counterparts. Midnight Machines is also available via a special D2C offer that includes a digital MP3, a special clear disc physical LP, an original hand-autographed 11” x 17” limited-edition canvas poster, and access to a live and intimate online streaming event hosted by Lights where she will answer fan questions and perform tracks from the new album. Get the special D2C offer here. Also announced today, Lights will perform acoustically for fans at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto on May 3 and at The Vogue in Vancouver on May 14.
