LITE

Following critical acclaim for their “Filmlets” album earlier this year, Tokyo based mind-bending instrumentalists LITE return to the UK in September. Formed in 2003, LITE’s cinematic sound combines jaw-dropping precision with a real sense of emotion and power, revealing influences as diverse as Shellac, Tortoise and Italian prog giants Area and Osanna. Recorded early last year, “Filmlets” takes LITE’s dynamics a step further than the ethereal post rock of their debut offering, with a bolder, more confident production and a broader palette of sounds. Fast earning a reputation as one of the most combustible live acts out of Japan in recent years, this gig is not to be missed.

“one of the most technical yet enjoyable instrumental math-rock albums in recent memory...Filmlets is a truly remarkable album” -The Silent Ballet
“a spectacular new addition to the math rock fraternity...instrumental music of head-spinning complexity” -The Source
“Filmlets is a compelling mix of Shellac severity and Blonde Redhead urgency, with great rock tracks like ‘Human Gift’ demonstrating the group’s collective creativity to the full...LITE look set to lead the post-rock fightback” -Rock-a-Rolla
“the wall of sound they create has so many exciting layers that it is impressive to just imagine the tracks performed live” -Fake Jazz
“LITE pack an impressive emotional weight alongside the inevitable barrage of musical technicality...the warm guitar tones of track such as ‘Human Gift’ are sent skyward on the back of the band’s extravagantly gifted rhythm section while the sweeping e-bow of ‘RE’ possesses a grandeur worthy of Explosions In The
Sky. Indeed it’s this unashamedly epic and accessible streak that makes LITE so appealing” -Rock Sound
“Funky, quirky, driving math prog rock!” -Ptolemaic Terrascope
