THE ORANGE LIGHTS have an epic sound, and an album’s worth of big songs with uplifting lyrics. The themes are universal: loss and redemption, clutching hope out of the jaws of desolation and despair - like Spiritualized, The Verve and many great 60’s/ early 70’s soul records. The sound is atmospheric and cinematic like Doves, U2 and Radiohead topped off with loads of personality and the solid gold voice of frontman Jason Hart. The Orange Lights blend their influences – old soul, Brian Eno, Stone Roses, Echo & The Bunnymen, Nick Drake, U2, Radiohead, Ulrich Schnauss and A Reminiscent Drive – into perfect pop songs. As several observers have noted: “It’s the record Richard Ashcroft should have made after The Verve's Urban Hymns.”

 

THE ORANGE LIGHTS are what happens when you put two of British pop’s best-loved bands together. Vocalist Jason Hart formerly plied his guitar talents in Jason Pierce’s Spiritualized, and you can hear the influence in the The Orange Lights’ wall of sound. Co-creator of the band is keyboard player and songwriter Paul Tucker – who was one-half of Nineties soul sensations the Lighthouse Family. On paper, they seem mismatched. On record, a marriage made in heaven.

 

Ticket competition up on their Myspace plus details of their new single...

The Orange Lights – Click Your Heels

 

Just wanted to let you know about the new single from The Orange Lights. The Guardian said of The Orange Lights: “Uplifting but scarred widescreen rock: imagine a desolate Verve or U2,” and ‘Click Your Heels’ is the second single from their debut album ‘Life Is Still Beautiful’.

 

Produced by Coldplay & Embrace mastermind Ken Nelson, the single is available to download from 13th August and from stores from 20th August. ‘Click Your Heels’ is backed up with an acoustic version, as well as a live recording of the track from the recent Orange Lights gig at the infamous Ibiza Rocks.

 

You can check the single at The Orange Lights Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/theorangelights

Anyone else heard of them? Last.fm recommended them to me and I think they sound awesome. They're not a new group, but they're definately worth a listen, their album 'Life Is Still Beautiful' is so good.

Of course, it's a mix of well-known bands, like Coldplay, Oasis and sometimes a bit of Radiohead, but they still have a little something different.
