Attic Lights: Turn On Your Bright Lights

Attic_lights Coming from that musical hot bed city called Glasgow comes Attic Lights. Like a few Scottish bands, they sound like they can come from any where. Oddly enough, their recently enough album is called Friday Night Lights, named after the book, movie and TV show set in Texas. They sound like they could be from Texas, or Dublin or Australia or Mars.

Their Travis meets Beach Boys concoction of large, heart-felt tunes will have you paying attention. The Friday Nights Album was produced by Teenage Fanclub drummer Francis MacDonald with string arrangement by my man Bjorn of Peter Bjorn and John.

The band have played some live dates with The Fratellis, Camera Obscura and the Feeling. I will have to keep an eye out for them.

Meantime, check out their first single, "Bring You Down."
