The Bright Light Social Hour

Conjuring a bold new version of psychedelia informed by hard rock, R&B, electronica, and pop, the Bright Light Social Hour is a band from Texas taking the rich tradition of Lone Star trippiness and both preserving it and updating it for a new time and place. In 2007, the band recorded their first EP, Touches, followed by a second EP, Love Like Montopolis, in 2008. As the Bright Light Social Hour's sound became more eclectic and ambitious, they began blocking out plans to cut an album, and their self-titled full-length debut became a sensation in their new hometown of Austin in 2010. In March 2015, the Bright Light Social Hour dropped their much-anticipated second album, Space Is Still the Place. ~ Mark Deming
