ne of Chicago’s brightest new bands, Lightfoils pushes the shoegaze genre into new territory. Formed in 2010, the band is comprised of Neil Yodnane and Zeeshan Abbasi on guitars, Jane Zabeth on vocals, Cory Osborne on bass and John Rungger on drums.
 
Lightfoils mean business. Building on the promise of their EP, Hierarchy arrives and does not disappoint. “Polar Waves” welcomes you with guitars that chime and ring, before the track slowly lifts you blissfully into space. Immediately following is “Last One”, which seethes with a simmering intensity and propulsive rhythm section, and you’re hooked. Only two tracks in, Lightfoils already own your soul.
 
Hazy soundscapes, ringing guitar, icy synth, feather-light vocals, and actual compelling tunes, Lightfoils use Hierarchy to serve notice: their EP was no fluke, and they will no longer be ignored. If you’re new to Lightfoils, drop the needle on “Diastolic”, “Last One”, or the strangely compelling “alovetodestroy” and you’ll begin to understand what all the fuss is about. But there’s more than just three tracks to this album. Once you get inside, it’s a beautifully rich and textured world to explore.

Remember

Make a Deal with the City 
(Music and lyrics: F.M. Cornog) 

You live in this city 
Make a deal with the city now 
You live in this city 
Make a deal with the city right now 

Sometimes just blow up 
Sometimes just deflate 
Sometimes just hang on 
Sometimes pull the weight 

You live in this city 
Make a deal with the city now 
You live in this city 
Make a deal with the city right now 

'cause people disappear 
And life might be a joke 
You're getting smaller everyday 
You're like a plane flying over me 
Waving bye-bye 
Sing 
No bye-byes 
No bye-byes 
No bye-byes 

Gotta fly away from you 
Gotta fly away from you
