Video: LITE – The Sun Sank
I’m not often one for short EPs and singles. I tend to prefer full albums, so shorter releases don’t usually get many plays from me. The format works well, though, for LITE, who pack an album’s worth of ideas into three songs on their new Turns Red EP.
The instrumental math-rock quartet adds synthesizers to their sound with this release, most prominently on opening track, ‘The Sun Sank’. The overall shift in sound isn’t a huge departure, but it suits them well. What drives this release is that the songs are constantly changing and evolving. It’s important for an instrumental band to vary their sound to stay interesting, so the addition of synthesizers is a logical step for LITE.
Turns Red EP has a lot in common with Zazen Boys, albeit less experimental, and with less edge. I’m enjoying this EP quite a lot, it’s a good introduction to LITE and feels a lot more substantial than most three-song releases.
