Release Notes:

Attic Lights are the latest band to come out of the Scottish
scene and offer their debut 'Friday Night Lights' eagerly to
the world. Album opener æNever Get Sick Of The SeaÆ lays down
a good sound with its Beach Boys style harmonies and the
grunge guitars riffs that give Attic Lights quite an American
but also early indie (think of The Charlatans) edge to their
music. That's not to say that they can't turn their hands to
more gentle styles, which they do in æBring You DownÆ using
guitars and steady drumming and æWendyÆ- a gorgeous ballad
that will have all the fans singing and swaying along at their
gigs.

æDark EyesÆ uses the fail safe build up as sad melancholy
piano playing breaks into a towering crescendo which shows
theyÆre not a band all about the smash and grab style music
but rather they woo their fans gently and envelop them in a
wall of sound which produces just as powerful a song. æNothing
But LoveÆ brings the album back to the grunge sounds of æNever
Get Sick Of The SeaÆ and æBring You DownÆ but there is a twist
of 60Æs country in this song too which gives it just that
little lift to make it a refreshing difference.

The two best tunes on 'Friday Night Lights' are æThe Dirty
ThirstÆ and æWalkie TalkieÆ - the first is a perfect blend of
all the best elements of the album and is carried by the
strong vocals and skilful lyrics much like æWalkie TalkieÆ,
which harks back to the grunge rock sound of the early 90s .

Things start to wind down as æLate Night SunshineÆ leaps in to
the calm before the lighter moment æWinter OnÆ which is a step
further in to that calm and makes a good end to a fantastic
album. Be sure to ear mark Attic Lights as a band of which big
things can be expected of in the coming months.
