Don't eat lights, kids. If you walk around all glowing and stuff on a night you make yourself a sitting duck for muggers and rapists. Eat Lights: Become Lights seem to have named themselves in homage to Six by Seven's ripsnorter of a tune 'Eat Junk Become Junk' and ten-foot Chris Olley turns up on the B-side to this doing a wee remix. The A-side 'They Transmit' is a chiming guitar-led instrumental reminiscent of Spacemen 3 with a bit of a motorik beat to drive it along (pun intended). Since the other side is called 'Musik for Motorways' they can't really be accused of trying to hide their influences.. It starts off all Ash Ra Tempel ambience then goes all Neu on our bum bums. Far out sleeve and red vinyl to boot.

What their label says...

The band have hardly been around any time at all, having been formed in the second half of 2007 by Neil Rudd, former guitarist and songwriter with Kontakte. Rudd quickly recruited Carl Harms (Guitar) Adam Jacobs (Drums) Mark Parsons (Bass) and then persuaded the lovely Claire Watson, former Avrocar keyboard player, to complete the line up. The plan is simple, take everything that is thrilling about the music they love and create the most exciting instrumental krautrock/Psychedelic sound possible! The band’s collective passion for all things sonic is unrestrained, with pedal effects turned to ten, theirs is an immediate and satisfying sound, tight grooves, a wall of sound pierced by pristine melodies that make the music hard not to fall in love with! The single also features a sublime AA Side, thanks to Chris Olley’s (Twelve/Six by Seven) remix of, ’Musik for Motorways’, which is taken from the forthcoming debut album (release TBA). “From London, but sound like Düsseldorf residents on their debut single, which mixes krautrock rhythms and celestial drones to heavenly effect.” NME
