Liverpool’s SCREAMING LIGHTS announce debut album

Liverpool’s SCREAMING LIGHTS have announced details of the release of their debut album. Like Angels will be released through Anti Records (US) on Monday, November 2nd making Screaming Lights the first new UK band the label has ever signed. The tracklist for the 11-track album is as follows:

1. Volts
2.21st Century
3. Hello Tomorrow
4. Rainmaker
5. Exit Wound
6. Air In A Lung
7. Champagne Socialist
8. Princess
9. Anymore
10. Glow
11. Butterflies

Recorded with Dan Grech at the Hospital Studio in London’s Covent Garden and Parr Street in Liverpool during the Spring of ’09, the album is revealed to Europe after building a steady and exciting buzz in the UK music scene, embraced by fans and media alike. Once to watch for 2009, the band has further established their position with a touring history that saw Screaming Lights share stages with the likes of White Lies, Mystery Jets, Late Of The Pier as well as gracing the BBC introducing stage at Reading Festival this Summer.

Gloriously out-of-step and isolated from many of their contemporaries, Screaming Lights are very much a product of their home-town. Steeped in that time-honoured Scouse tradition of forward-thinking, bloody-minded psychedelia, Like Angels shares a fair bit with the likes of fellow Mersey pop-pranksters such as The Teardrops or The Bunnymen.

Very adventurous yet still anchored in that classic Liverpudlian song-writing tradition, the 11-tracks of the album sound far more accomplished then one would expect on a debut album from a band just out of school. A truly innovative and exciting debut.

Screaming Lights are:
Alan Breen (bass)
James Connor (drums)
Max Goldberg (guitar)
James Treadell (vocals/guitar)
