Sounds Like
According to reviews... a bit like a mixture of Grandaddy, The Beach Boys, Teenage Fanclub, The Everly Brothers....
Songs crafted in the dim half-light of the Attic are finding their way out into the world.
________________________________________________________________
Attic Lights have recorded their debut album 'Friday Night Lights' with producer Francis MacDonald (Teenage Fanclub, Camera Obscura and Shoeshine Records). It will be released Autumn 2008.
Formed in Glasgow’s West-End, Attic Lights' sound was moulded in a secluded attic until Kev, Colin, Jamie, Tim and Noel were happy with the music they'd created.
"Scottish rock's evergreen love affair with The Beach Boys, The Byrds and Big Star begins a fertile new chapter with Attic Lights... a hugely infectious debut"
UNCUT ****
I saw Teenage Fanclub yesterday and Camera Obscura today. Both good, but Attic Lights are best. Just so everyone knows where they stand. Camera Obscura lost points for not having played Eighties Fan.
