THE BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR* Space Is Still the Place (Frenchkiss)
[cid:image001.jpg at 01D055B1.7A0DEE10]Today, Austin rock band The Bright Light Social Hour releases their sophomore album, Space Is Still the Place via Frenchkiss Records. The 10-track collection was written, performed, produced and engineered by the band at their home studio in Austin, TX, and mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, TV On The Radio, Future Islands). 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. PRESS HERE<http://lifeandtimes.com/lifetimes-video-premiere-the-bright-light-social-hour-infinite-cities> to watch the music video for lead single “Infinite Cities,” and PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dACcTbb3l8s> to stream the album in full.

Praise for The Bright Light Social Hour:
“No matter how much research you put into figuring out who will be the hottest new artists of each year, another act comes into your vision with an output that absolutely blows you away.” – The Huffington Post

“’Slipstream’, is a lush, space-western odyssey. Rolling in with a plodding bass line and restrained drumming, the track builds slowly before a hypnotic guitar riff oozes into the mix.’” – Consequence of Sound

“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

“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

Praise for North of Nine and lead singer Jackson Guthy:
"'Can It Be You?' mixes the buoyant piano of a hit like Maroon 5's 'This Love' with a tough rock bite: Guthy has a potent voice with a gravelly edge, while guitarist Michael O'Grady slathers riffs around the beat. 'Can It Be You?' has the swagger of a hit.” – Billboard.com<http://Billboard.com>

“… you will definitely want to keep your eye on this California teen sensation.”  – Seventeen.com<http://Seventeen.com>

“…this talented singer-songwriter already has a full musical resume under his belt.” – Yahoo! Music

“…swoon-worthy vocals, an addictive chorus and a steady drumbeat that is the heart of the tune…our new spring jam!” - Popcrush
