Lights is a post-everything band from Brooklyn, one which tosses all that is hip and cool into a bowl and stirs until yummy goodness ensues. At the group’s core lies a love for vintage FM rock. Vocalists Linnea Vedder and Sophia Knapp often sound like the teenaged offspring of Heart’s Wilson sisters (or maybe even the unknown mamas in Anonymous/J. Rider). But on Rites, Lights’ debut full-length for Drag City, the band tricks-out the rock with touches of post-punk, dub and funk. At times, Lights even dives mind-first into an arty free-bop that’s vaguely reminiscent of fellow New Yorkers Telepathe and Rings. However, the band is always mindful to return to what it knows best: riffs, jams and soaring harmonies. With White Buffalo Black Madonna, the Entrance Band. JUSTIN F. FARRAR
