MyGen Profile Generatorthelightshines is one man. lo-fi drones. little bits stolen from everywhere. ____________________________________________________________ __’It’s spaced out stuff, kind of how I imagine (and yes, it is something I think about daily) BRMC would sound if they went round to Anton Newcombe’s, called up Brian Wilson to make up the numbers, ate a few specially ordered mushrooms, then held a séance so that Sid Barrett could join in the ensuing jamming session. I’m sure you’ll agree, such a tantalizing and frankly barmy analogy could only be conjured up for something special, and The Lightshines are it.’ - High Voltage ____________________________________________________________ __’dreamy lo-fi guitar psychedelia’ - Manchester Music ____________________________________________________________ __’The overall effect is The Beatles’ "Within You Without You" via Spacemen 3 in "Perfect Prescription" woozy drone-blues mode; an envelpoingly addictive trance... It’s like a sundazed acoustic Spiritualized’ - Manchester Music ____________________________________________________________ __Made with just an acoustic guitar, a sitar, a tambourine, and the occassional use of an arabic drum, the beauty is in the simplicity. The vocal hangs over the top like a cloud and guitar loops create a hypnotic rhythm to set the scene. It’s like Spacemen 3 but stripped down, and with more of a folksy, Asian feel - Psychedelic Reaction Magazine ____________________________________________________________ __’It’s a collision between Spacemen 3 and George Harrison’s Eastern-influenced Beatles moments (although you could include any timeless and groundbreaking British guitar pop), and it is enchanting and rather excellent.’ - James Hinchcliffe, Manchester Music ____________________________________________________________ __’Absorbing, trance inducing and geared to the mind’s back doors and windows, it also spans a fair sized chunk of time. For an epic, it’s beautifully unassuming. It’s a lovely record.’ - Guru Magazine____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ___________ ____________________________________________________________ _
