Austin natives The Bright Light Social Hour return with the second single from their forthcoming album Emergency Leisure (August 2, Escondido Sound). “Prefecture” showcases their love of dark synths, Afrobeat rhythms and a potent blend of electro-soul instrumentation in the context of a full indie band environment. Founded by Jackie O’Brien (bass/vocals) and Curtis Roush (guitar/vocals), and joined by Mia Carruthers (keys/vocals), Zac Catanzaro (drums) and Juan Alfredo Ríos (percussion), the band have their sights on a full North American tour, proliferating the retro-future-dance sound of their new album!
The band’s music is characterized by its unique and innovative nature, constantly evolving and pushing boundaries. Their discography includes four studio albums to date, with Space Is Still the Place and Jude I & II receiving high praise from critics.
