Sweet Lights - Sweet Lights Endless Town (7" vinyl)

· Highline Records are proud to present the debut
single from Philadelphia’s shape-shifting pop auteur,
Sweet Lights.

· A breath of fresh melodic air, ‘Endless Town’ pays
homage to Sweet Lights aka Shai Halperin’s
hometown, but its bittersweet sentiments should
connect with own anyone’s own sense of local comfort
and local entrapment.

· Delighting your ears on the B-side is a cover of The
Traveling Wilburysʼ ‘Handle With Care’.

· Prior to Sweet Lights, Shai Halperin was leader and
progenitor of The Capitol Years, enjoying varied
critical accolades including a Radcliffe & Maconie
Single Of The Week with ‘Revolutions’, a live session
on BBC Radio 2 with Bob Harris, a memorable set at
Glastonbury Festival, and high praise from Rolling
Stone and Pitchfork.

· Shai's band were influential in the Philadelphia music
scene, with War On Drugs members Adam Granduciel
and David Hartley spending time in The Capitol Years,
and Shai in turn featuring on guitar alongside Kurt Vile
and Granduciel in an early War On Drugs line-up.

· ‘Endless Town’ / ‘Handle With Care’ is a perfect
introduction to the forthcoming self-titled album, a
spellbinding blend of hook-soaked songwriting.

· Available on limited edition hand-numbered,
transparent 7” vinyl (300 copies) and digital
download.
