A fervent rocker from Bay Area act Drowning Effect, “Bright Lights” opens the band’s latest album, Techniculture. The band takes inspiration from both ’70s psych-rock and ’90s alternative, evident on “Bright Lights” and its development from sludgy guitars into a feedback-friendly mid-section that oozes psychedelic charm. The trio of James Spadaro, Thad Baker, and Mark Loftin flaunt a sound that many rock fans will dig deeply into, filled with both jam-friendly guitar textures (like the track’s conclusion) and vocal-fronted hookiness. Techniculture is a recommended listen; stream it in full below:
