“Lightsystem have been pounding out and polishing their atmospheric art rock since 2008, when drummer John Kyle and guitarist and vocalist Danny Byrne joined forces in Los Angeles. After recording and self-releasing the Lightsystem EP, 2009, they performed throughout LA and Southern California with the help of a revolving lineup of musicians until 2011 saw the addition of Jason Greenly on bass, solidifying the group. The three then embarked on a tour of the Western United States, while writing their new, gorgeous and sprawling epic that is the album Lost Language. Taking inspiration from the electronic pulsation of Fever Ray, the shimmering guitars and sweetly sad whispers of My Bloody Valentine, they push and unfold their music cyclically-- brutality coming at you in waves in a way that is reminiscent of Mogwai or Cult of Luna.
