Attic Lights - Friday Night Lights

13th October sees in the release of 'Friday Night Lights', the debut set from Island Records very own Attic Lights.

Attic Lights are five likely lads from Glasgow, produced and managed by one Francis Macdonald from Teenage Fanclub. Likened to the song writing genius of REM, the frazzled cosmic brilliance of The Flaming Lips, with the spirit of the Beach Boys, the album includes a collaboration with Bjorn Yttling from Peter, Bjorn and John and a guitar courtesy of Belle & Sebastian.

As is the tradition with Scottish bands, they have garnered much respect from their fellow Jocks, being remixed by The Vaselines (first new studio output for 20 years and currently available as an exclusive stream at www.pitchforkmedia.com ), Camera Obscura, Mogwai and label-mate Highland Heroes The Fratellis as well as Jim Noir.

On the promotional front the band have performed sessions for Dermot O’Leary, Janice Long, Radcliffe and Maconie (Radio 2) and XFM, and a chance meeting with David Gest resulted with the Attics laying down a new version of their Phil Spektor-esque “Bring You Down” with Mr Gest on 'Gest' vocals, and the resulting video making its way onto This Morning, Richard and Judy, 4 Music and Transmission.
