The Bright Light Social Hour released their album Space Is Still the Place on March 10th, 2015 (Frenchkiss Records) to rave reviews.  The theme of the album encompasses the idea of a “Future South,” which was developed by the band after touring across the country, heavily in the South, over the last few years.

Praise for The Bright Light Social Hour:

“continually exhilarating” - NPR



“There's just something in the Austin quartet's stomp and tamborine jangle, echoed vocals and limber grooves that's very transportive. "Dreamlove" revels in an immersive motorik groove, while "Aperture" utilizes reverb in a such a way as to make you feel like you're floating off to a galaxy far, far away.” – Vice Noisey



"Space Is Still the Place exemplifies their ability to remain cohesive while moving between various genres and styles.  This trait, displayed on the album from start to finish, is sure to shoot The Bright Light Social Hour to the top of festival lineups and add to their already infectious and irresistible live show." – Relix



“Space Is Still the Place is a more complete work, a 45-minute Southern psychedelic rock odyssey.” – Austin American Statesman



"An early contender for Austin album of the year. 4 Stars" - Austin Chronicle



“This band brings a live rawness that masterfully bleeds into their records. It’s an unmatched je ne sais quoi that makes their sound relatable to the listener and devoid of condescension” – Life + Times



“Austin is a perpetual hotbed for new and boundaries-pushing music, with psych-rock band The Bright Light Social Hour standing out as a forerunner in 2015.” – Yahoo! Music
