Lights Out Asia - Tanks And Recognisers

Wisconsin post-celestial-shoegazer trio Lights Out Asia deliver their second full length and debut for N5MD. This follow-up to their critic and fan favourite ‘Garmonia (Sun Sea Sky)’ pushes their sound far forward with a palpable intensity by giving a seemingly subliminal nod to some of the more electronically minded ethereal bands of the mid 80s to early 90s like My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, or even the more emotionally rich moments of Colourbox. Lights Out Asia – equally if not more influenced by contemporary like-minded artists such as Mogwai, Massive Attack, and Robin Guthrie’s various works - blend these sounds and ideas with an updated style, feel and modern expansiveness. ‘Tanks And Recognizers’ is a cinematic and ambitiously crafted album which could easily fit into any indie rock or electronic music collection. Soaring, floating, and moving forward as it pulls you in to its hopeful heart consuming ebb and flow of electronics, searing guitars and lofty vocal yearning. ‘Tanks And Recognizers’ is that perfect album for those days when the horizon and sky are of the same hue and for those moments where every perspective is so gorgeously blurred.
