Listen Here #20: The Light Set (aka MY BAND!)
Hi friends,
Guess what? My band released a two-song EP last month, and in the spirit of shamelessly self-promoting, I am recommending it here and now.
The Light Set is my band, based right here in New Orleans, Louisiana. We recorded these two songs in the fall of 2023, and, persevering through many hiccups in the process, have finally been managed to release them into the wilds of the internet.
You can listen to these songs on Bandcamp, or Spotify (or any other platform of your choosing).
“See You Then” is a song about a difficult familial relationship. I wrote it in the summer of 2021, walking on the beach in Perdido Key, FL. It’s an ocean song, through-and-through. Fun fact: ff you squint, the ending verse references the schlocky-christian-mainstay-of-grandma-bathrooms, “Footprints.”
I wrote “I Only See The Moon,” after a beautiful weekend on Washington’s Olympic Penninsula coast with my sisters. I spent two days soaking up the long evergreen-lined coast, the misting rain, and the fascinating huge craggy rocks that dot the beaches. I then turned that glorious, fun, laughter-filled weekend into one of the saddest break-up denial songs I’ve ever written (and I’ve written a few… what can I say, it’s a gift).
Those are the songs! We will hopefully record a full-length very soon 👀
