Release Notes:

Light FM is trying to play a trick on you. In fact, there is absolutely nothing
light about this band. Buried underneath the hooks that refuse to leave your
head and singer Josiah MazzaschiÆs perfect pop songwriting lurks a monsterùa
dark, amplified, fuzzed out monster who can sing just as easily about
depression, suicide, being orphaned, beaten, and left for dead as he can about
love and California sunshine. But what sets Light FMÆs music apart is that
thereÆs none of that hipster sarcasm in MazzaschiÆs voice when he sings about
death and body bags while surf rock guitar riffs shimmer over three part Beach
Boys harmonies. In fact, if youÆre paying attention, itÆs so earnest that itÆs
downright disturbing. And thatÆs Light FMÆs secret weapon, the trick theyÆre
going to play on you. In an era awash with brain-numbing irony and
I-donÆt-give-a-fuck music personas, here comes a band who is unafraid of sincere
emotion, even if it swings back and forth from a chemically imbalanced
preoccupation with death to a fragile romantic idealism so tender it makes your
heart hurt. Light FM is a band devoid of hipster self-awareness, either by
nature or by design, a band that proudly wears their hearts on their sleeves.
ItÆs a credit to MazzaschiÆs talent that his combination of dark humor and
tenderness blends so effortlessly and in ways that evoke bands like the Pixies,
the Kinks, and the Carsùbands who wrote pop songs but who never shied away from
noise or unconventional instrumentation.
