I love summer days, and I love summer nights. I also love shoegaze and dream pop, so it makes all the sense in the world that I’m drawn to Lightfoils and their new single, Summer Nights. The Chicago band, who just announced their new album Chambers, out November 16th, entrances us with their reverb whirring, lush purling tune, our first taste of new music since their acclaimed 2014 album Hierarchy. Summer Nights is a wall of exhilarating sound. It blankets our autumn night with its melodic bass and cascading guitars, dripping in longing and nostalgia. If you’re a fan of the Bay’s own Tanukichan and legendary Slowdive, you don’t want to miss out on this one. You can pre-order Lightfoils’ new album via Bandcamp, here.

Comprised of Neil Yodnane and Zeeshan Abbasi on guitars, Jane Zabeth on vocals, Cory Osborne on bass and John Rungger on drums, the Chicago-based quintet of Lightfoils formed in 2010 and and in a short time they developed a reputation as one of the Windy City's best, up-and-coming bands -- and for a sound that pushes shoegaze into a new direction. In fact, as you'll hear on "Diastolic," one of the first singles off the band's soon-to-be released full-length debut, Hierarchy, a hazy soundscape created by chiming guitars, icy synths, propulsive drums, swirling feedback and ethereal vocals. In some way, it evokes Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Sugarcubes and a few others for me.
