The Orange Lights: Debut Single 'Let The Love Back In' out
21st May.
"The time's right for us. People are fed up with mumbling
indie bands. We are all about big tunes you can sing your
heart out to." - Jason Hart, The Orange Lights
Following a storming Club NME gig at Koko, rising
Newcastle band The Orange Lights release their debut
single 'Let The Love Back In' on 21st May.
The Orange Lights have an epic sound, and an album's worth
of big songs with uplifting lyrics. The themes are
universal: loss and redemption, clutching hope out of the
jaws of desolation and despair - like Spiritualized, The
Verve and many great 60's/ early 70's soul records. The
sound is atmospheric and cinematic like Doves, U2 and
Radiohead topped off with loads of personality and the
solid gold voice of frontman Jason Hart. The Orange Lights
blend their influences - old soul, Brian Eno, Stone Roses,
Echo & The Bunnymen, Nick Drake, U2, Radiohead, Ulrich
Schnauss and A Reminiscent Drive - into perfect pop songs.
As several observers have noted: "It's the record Richard
Ashcroft should have made after The Verve's Urban Hymns."
The Orange Lights are what happens when you put two of
British pop's best-loved bands together. Vocalist Jason
Hart formerly plied his guitar talents in Jason Pierce's
Spiritualized, and you can hear the influence in the The
Orange Lights' wall of sound. Co-creator of the band is
keyboard player and songwriter Paul Tucker - who was
one-half of Nineties soul sensations the Lighthouse
Family. On paper, they seem mismatched. On record, a
marriage made in heaven. The Sun have tipped them for big
things this year in their Class Of 2007 feature. Come and
see why at The Great Escape in Brighton (Friday May 18,
Brighton Great Escape). Full tour to follow.
The Orange Lights have so far played shows in Newcastle,
London, the infamous Ibiza Rocks and Los Angeles (they
have already stacked up 62 radio plays on Indie 103 in LA,
and 15 plays to date on KCRW, and are now getting played
by the legendary Nic Harcourt.
Once word got about The Orange Lights last year, the group
received many unsolicited offers of record deals from UK
and US labels. Prefering to go it alone they set up their
own Blackbird Records which will release their debut
single 'Let The Love Back In' on 21st May, with the album
to follow in June.
Instead of approaching labels, they had instead decided
from the start to approach three of the producers / mixers
they most admire - Ken Nelson, Chris Lord-Alge and Chris
Potter - who all turned down lucrative offers from major
artists to work with the unsigned ORANGE LIGHTS.
The Orange Lights are: Jason Hart (vocals and guitar),
Ewan Warden (guitar), Paul Tucker (keyboards), Chris
Gittins (bass), Alex Lucas (drums).
