Grayson Currin of Indy Week on Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Grayson Currin of Indy Week weighs in on Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album in advance of their Raleigh show this Friday:

Of the 13 tracks on the excellent second album by Borrrowed Beams of Light, On the Wings of a Bug, only the last song breaks the four-minute mark. That economy stems largely from the dual impulses of frontman Adam Brock: He’s got the power-pop punch to write a tune as infectious and inescapable as the title track and the experimental wonderment to nest little melodies inside ruptured dream machine expanses, too. He keeps these proclivities largely discrete, though, resulting in music that provides immediacy and obscurity in equal, if separate measures.

Kemptation reviews Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album On The Wings Of A Bug, calling Songbird Bouquet “riff heavy, hand clapping, stomping power pop interspersed with quieter moments of lush harmonies and bells” and the title track “a great song to showcase what a talent [songwriter Adam Brock] truly is…The melody is catchy and strong, and the chorus is a real singalong affair.”

Brooklyn Vegan previews Müscle Wörship’s upcoming Brooklyn show at Glasslands, and shares the band’s tour dates and album stream:

Muscle Worship’s self-titled debut LP, which came out earlier this year, is packed with raw riffage and distorted vocals that fall somewhere between the attack of post-hardcore and the sharp quickness of post-punk.

Sirens of Decay reviews Borrowed Beams of Light track

Sirens of Decay reviews the title track of Borrowed Beams of Light’s new album On The Wings Of A Bug:

Hibernator Gigs, home to two of the more interesting artists I’ve uncovered in my interweb travels, released Borrowed Beams Of Light’s latest record…“On The Wings Of A Bug” is as candidly quirky as anything else you might expect from the Borrowed Beams, what with it’s short X-Files intro segue into a dainty little rhythm and sunny sounding vocals. There’s some inherent joy in this track, like a child at play with something he doesn’t understand.
