Thanks Light Return with the Valley
It was just a few weeks ago when Austin band Thanks Light were making RayRay and I nostalgic with their ode to Costa Rica. And, they’re right back at it with another fresh single from the current cycle, this one hitting more of a traditional indie folk sound. You get a steadily marching drum to open the tune, awaiting its union with light strings and a barroom piano line; it’s subtly uplifting, yet solemn once the heavier tones from the vocals sweep into the picture. They ride those moments up until the chorus, where gang vocals lift you up so as to swing you right back into the tilt-a-whirl feel of the verses. Another solid number from the ATX homies.
