Tunes for the soul✨

In December 2013 Lettuce was finishing up what was by all accounts there most fruitful and successful year too date.  They were all gathered in their defacto hometown of  Brooklyn for a week long run at Brooklyn Bowl and their last show of the year at the Capitol Theater. 

Never ones to waste a moment, Lettuce took their time together in December in between shows to record two new original tracks, “Don’t Be Afraid To Try”, which features vocalist Alecia Chakour, and “Yakitori”.  “Don’t Be Afraid To Try” is sure to be a Lettuce staple for years to come, seamlessly blending the Lettuce sound with timeless R&B vocals.  Alecia is currently touring with the band and fitting in perfectly.  “Yakitori” is classic hard-tiiing instrumental Lettuce at its best.  This is the sound that fans have come to expect from the band and “Yakitori” shows that the direction of the bands sound is still pushing funk to new heights!

Lettuce is offering these two singles for FREE through their soundcloud and on limited edition 7 in vinyl.  You can pre-order the vinyl HERE.  The tracks are also up on iTunes now.

It was a special year for the Lettuce collective in which they played huge dates at Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, the Fillmores in Denver and San Francisco and made it to a ton of cities for the first time, always met by eager fans new and old.  Lettuce Spring tour starts tonight at the Roxy in LA and rolls on through April 6.  The band then will celebrate Jazzfest at their Annual Royal Family Ball before a monster schedule of high profile festival appearances.


Lettuce - Don't Be Afraid To Try (feat. Alecia Chakour)

Unreleased Pretty Lights music of varying quality from rips to studio recordings

STS9 Remix

Beyond Right Now (Pretty Lights Remix)

Tune in and experience select hand-picked improvised “Flips,” culled from our 2016 journeys from Episodic Festival stops, and shows from our West and California runs.

Derek on “Flips”…

“We ended up devising something we call ‘flips.” We’ll start with a produced song, and everyone has a philosophy for playing on top of the produced songs. Alvin has acoustic drums that he’ll play on top of it, and we also have drum triggers for electronic drum sounds so we can get a produced sound from the live kit. When I call a ‘flip’ everyone knows that I’m about to filter out the produced track. When the produced music disappears, the live musicians completely switch their sound to something that’s more electronic. Borahm will drop into a synth bass, Alvin will switch to an electronic kick and an electronic snare. It’s like a quick crossfade. It allows us to go from the produced track, with the band accentuating it, to a fully live band without losing something…It’s completely improvised but we’ve put a lot of time into making sure they know, stylistically, where the bounds are.”

To celebrate the new season of the Episodic Festival series, premiering next week on August 4th and 5th at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA, Pretty Lights has released a collection of rare, and unreleased tunes into the hands of fans in the form of USB 2.0. As the “Pretty Lights Movement” project continues to evolve, the idea of getting old and rare tunes to the fans as a way to progressively collaborate, bring the entire community together, share art in a different format, and move these rare pieces of sound forward to the social media platform also continues to evolve.

The Pretty Lights team has big things in store for this years Episodic Festival Series and the rest of 2017, along with the growing #PLMovement project… The expansion of this idea, the ongoing collaboration within the PLF community, and the sharing of art from all the different artists involved in new progressive ways, are things to look forward to from the PL team and the family in the near future… Stay Tuned!
