LET’S BE LIGHT
Children of the 80s!
The hype around Norway’s electronic duo Let’s be Light gets bigger and bigger as they’ve been touring with their energetic live band around Norway. Let's be Light is a mix of heavy beats and harmonies, voices, sounds, songs, thoughts and lightning moods. You can easily let yourself be misled by this music, colored by synths and beats from times back. Let's be Light knows exactly how they want to put their flashbacks, while directing the attention purposefully forward in a playful musical landscape. 

The band got a lot of attention around their debut EP in November 2011. “Man” was awarded Untouched Song of the Week on Norwegian national broadcaster NRK radio in February 2012, as well as being playlisted on NRK’s radio. Since then, the electropop duo teamed with BISI Music releasing several singles. The duo was nominated for “Lutt” Award 2012 in NRK and was in 2013 picked to play at this year Blast as one of Norway's most promising bands.

DEBUT ALBUM: After spending time in an artist center in Vilnius and in the small village Rognes, Norway; Let’s be Light have managed to compose a brilliant synth pop album packed with nostalgia and light melancholia. You’ll meet yourself, life, death, nature and the city, in a mix of feelings and moods. If pop-happiness is a feeling, this is what you get!

Det lysner av flyktig og fornuftig galskap! Let’s be Light smeller videre med tunge beats blandet inn med lekre harmonier, stemmer, klanger, sanger, tanker og lette stemninger. Vi kommer inn - og vi blir DER!
Musikken kan karakteriseres som synthbastert popmusikk med klare referanser til 80- og 90-tallet. Selv om mange av låtene har et lett melankolsk preg, spenner musikken seg fra rolig elektronisk pop til fengende disco, og videre til støyklanger.
Let’s be Light dukket senhøsten 2011 opp av underflaten for å berike verden med herlig og fengende synthpop. Eksperimentering og utforsking av forskjellige musikalske uttrykk hadde resultert i en EP som raskt fikk mye positiv oppmerksomhet:

UKAS URØRT med låten "Man":
“Let’s be Light leker seg med synther og skaper et kontrastfylt univers fylt av nostalgi, kulde og varme på samme tid. Velprodusert, lekker elektronika som får blodet til å bruse lengselsfullt i årene” (www.nrk.no/urort).

FURORE I HARARE har beskrevet bandet nærmest som en skjult skatt:
“Det finnes mye godt som aldri kommer skikkelig ut. Så sant som det er sagt. I mylderet av all musikken som kommer ut er det noen band som ikke får den oppmerksomheten de fortjener. Let’s be Light er et av disse” (www.furoreiharare.com).

NORSKMUSIKK.ORG beskriver musikken til Let’s be Light som fengende med herlige musikalske krumspring som er så vakkert at frysningen er et faktum. Og ut fra slike gode ord har de gitt EPen en 5er!!! (http://www.norskmusikk.org/).

The Switch, an Oslo sextet (or rather a quintet with an affixed lyricist), had been writing, recording and performing music in the impossible-to-market genre "harmony- and solo-heavy 70's inspired pop/rock, I guess?" for almost five years when one of the few Norwegian music reviewers people sort of care about named their debut album "Big If" (Arch Records, 2014) "the hidden gem of the year" in his year-end roundup. This pleased The Switch to no end. They bought physical copies of the newspaper and showed it to people. They also agreed, for the most part, although this they kept to themselves. Atheists all - they were still protestants.

Now let's skip back to what is about to happen:

Late in the summer of 2013, months after having wrapped up the recording of "Big If", The Switch recorded a demo of an old tune they had written two years previously. The recording was mostly meant as a way to keep their studio-muscles fit, but they immediately found, much their delight and wonderment, that the old prog ditty they thought they were recording was actually a part of an entire album they had written without realizing it: A vast underground structure connecting disparate parts of their shelved songwriting into a whole. Songs they thought were finished turned out to be missing parts of other songs entirely, or just woefully incomplete. What they unearthed that fall (and recorded that winter) didn't sound a whole lot like their first album; the day had turned to dusk and the earth and leather gave way to asphalt and sharp edges, electric lights and echoes. A spiral chronicle of how simply wanting to better one's place in life opens up a chasm of cyclical violence of the heart, stretched to the horizon, begging you to fall into it. Hence the title.

And thus The Switch would like to present, for your consideration, their sophomore album "B for The Beast". Gem or not, they hope it doesn't stay hidden.
