Peaking Lights, the Madison dub-psych duo made up of Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis have signed to Domino/Weird World and Mexican Summer record labels. A re-release of their latest well-received album “936” will be available for the first time in Europe beginning on November 21st. Up until now, the record had only been available as an import overseas.
The couple is due to start recording their next record in November of this year. The record is to be self-produced and engineered by Al Carlson (Yeasayer, Ford & Lopatin, Oneohtrix Point Never) in Brooklyn. As-of-yet untitled, it is due for release in Spring of 2012.
All The Sun That Shines by Peaking Lights
Peaking Lights sound is a sonic blend of electronic, psychedelic-drenched rhythms over controlled feedback and lo-fi tape-loops that invoke a feeling of alien pop spaciousness. The band has not played a gig in nearly a year, but that will soon change. A mini European tour is set for December. Peaking Lights recently made Stereogum's 40 Best New Bands of 2011 list.
If you’re lucky enough to live in the Madison, WI area, Peaking Lights will perform a rare show at Mickey’s Tavern on Sept. 22nd. This could be their last show as Madison residents. The rumor around town is they may be relocating to California. Check out this episode of Sound Builders on the origins of Peaking Lights' unique sound.
