Review: Lighthouse - Brighter Days (EP)
Lighthouse continues its pilgrimage to the 60's and 70's rock through post-punk-tinted garage glasses. Mellow-ish rock that is unafraid to slap a synthesizer and stomp a pedal. This EP features four tracks, each written and sung by a different bandmate. "When Will I See Brighter Days" is a great opener and plays the most like your standard LH song if only by virtue of singer/guitarist Jesse handling the vocals. Standard is relative. The song plays big yet fragile. The next tune, "Sundance", is vocalized by bass player Eli. The music has a fun Doors -y vibe while Eli's voice is low and steady. I reckon like his bass. It's probably my fave. Kinda reminds me of PiL 's Commercial Zone stuf...
