Sleigh Bells. Steel Resonator Mandolin. A myriad of electric guitars. Enter: The Light In You. It’s been seven years since their last studio release, Snowflake Midnight, and you’ve got until 18th September to wait for the best stuff they’ve done in a long, long time; as paraphrased by Grasshopper. It is an audio journey of physical and emotional turbulence experienced by both Grasshopper and Jonathan Donahue; a record filled with kaleidoscopic detail and intimate moments of calm. “It’s like taking a drug, but not actually taking a drug”. This is your opportunity for a special legal high – we recommend you take it aurally.
