Record Highlight — Submarine Lights

The debut album by Submarine Lights, produced by McKenzie Smith (Midlake, St. Vincent), began as an experiment in long-distance relationships, with songs variously written and recorded in Texas, Washington, DC, and New York City. Bringing together members of the The Chemistry Set, Polyphonic Spree, Calhoun, and St. Vincent, New York natives Stephen and Meredith Duncan layer soaring harmonies, subtle beats, liquid guitars, silvery strings, and memorable melodies into a collection of intimate and sometimes creepy moments.
