unknown future...a radiosexy reinvigoration of early 4AD spirit" - Joe Foster (Creation Records)
" A haunting, shimmering, deceptively simple slice of widescreen shoegaze that knows 100% what it's all about. A winner" - Producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn, Lords of Acid)

beautiful vocal tones, floating progressions & blissfully unassuming
guitar lines" - Primal Music Blog

Lights That Change
is an alternative ethereal dreampop outfit, hailing from North Wales
and headed by Marc Joy. After many years producing other artists, he
finally turned his attention towards his own creative endeavours. Thus
was born Lights That Change, channeling new energies into sculpting
horizons of perfect dreamscapes, primarily based on guitars.
Lights That Change released their debut EP ‘
Rainbow On Your Shoulder’ in 2013, followed by ‘
Whispers in February’ and have received support from BBC, Tom Robinson, and Amazing Radio, among others.
Over the past year, Lights That Change have undergone a reformation,
with Mandy Clare on vocals, John Bryan on bass and Marc Joy on guitars.
They are now gearing up to release their debut LP ‘Byzantium’ this
summer, which includes guest vocals from Rebecca Palin (Golden Fable)
and drum programming from Mal Holmes (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the
Dark).
“I’m extremely happy to be involved in Lights That Change,” says Mal
Holmes. “This has given me the freedom to create something special for
‘Voices’ and the new album doing what I love to do … this is why I
started playing drums in the first place”.
We proudly present the
first single from this forthcoming album, entitled
‘Voices’, chalked full of
ethereal wave post-punk magic reminiscent of 4AD’s golden era.
Here Mandy Clare lays mesmerizing vocals over a bed of drifting,
powerfully moving soundscapes. Lights That Change will also be bringing
their new permanent lineup to U.K. live audiences soon.
