About

Description
My name is LIGHTS. I'm a small girl who dwells in Toronto. I make music with a computer and a couple sweet synths. I also play whatever other sound makers I can get my pincers on. Making music has been my crutch/drug/vent/vice for my whole life. Most of what you hear starts, and is often finished, in my room (wherever that may be, I relocate like a hermit crab). When I write songs I think about how my music makes people feel, and I hope that when it goes into your ears you feel happy. Not sexy happy but apple pie happy. If I'm sad then the last thing I want is to be made even more sad by music. If my music could be drawn I would picture it like a comic, with simple border lines and bright colors. On first glance there is a nice composition, but upon closer inspection there is a deeper story.

When performing live, I could do everything myself if I were a squid, but I am only a hermit crab and I only have two arms. So there are two dashing musicians that join me on stage named Maurie and Adam. I am the littlest one on stage. But that only means that there is more stellar packed into each square inch. After a long time in the lab, I am finally releasing my first album The Listening. This world is a little dark, and I am LIGHTS.

Dear America, it's here!

It has been running loose in Canada for 2 weeks and now the borders have been busted open and my debut record, The Listening is officially out in the USA today. A few of the songs from the EP have crossed over onto the full length, one of which is a remix ("Ice") and everything else is brand new. To celebrate the release, I'm throwing a virtual listening party on http://www.myspace.com/LIGHTS so you can listen to all the songs right now! I have also kicked off my headlining tour across America, so if we swing through your town, hope to see you there. I hope you enjoy the record and that it makes you as excited as I have been for weeks!

Love, LIGHTS
