Borrowed Beams of Light on Das Klienicum

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Das Klienicum features Borrowed Beams of Light’s single “On The Wings Of A Bug”. Google roughly translates a sample:

The orientation is refreshing, juvenile, almost infected by exuberance. Hookline eats his way through the dense harmonies and entablature… You will find an album that alternates between the tides, the movements of eyes that would otherwise operate in opposite directions. Here they draw in quiet concord with the extrusion of a truly balanced with love music. Folky elements can be found, sometimes cloaked in the hymnal, but also first-class popmomente, where succulent rock ‘ n’ roll was highlighted.

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

The 2nd single from Borrowed Beams of Light’s forthcoming album On The Wings Of A Bug is up over at The 405 – check out “Songbird Bouquet”!

Melding ominous wedding bell chimes with slick harmonies, ‘Songbird Bouquet’ is a delectable marriage of pop and rock…It’s a delightful mixture of instruments, and is a bit like they’ve tamed the atmospheric indie-rock of Grizzly Bear into a big, huggable teddy.

Kick Kick Snare premieres Borrowed Beams of Light single “On The Wings Of A Bug”

Posted on by Rebekah Tweed

Kick Kick Snare premieres the title track from Borrowed Beams of Lights forthcoming album On The Wings Of A Bug!

On The Wings Of A Bug is a three minute burst of glittering indie pop, ushered along by driving guitars, big harmonies and witty lyrics. It feels more mature than past releases, but in the sense that the songwriter has experienced more. The youthful bounce and well rounded hooks are still present in abundance, but they feel more calculated and well traveled. The track showcases a strong tendency towards Fleetwood Mac and will easily appeal to fans of the Elephant Six Collective.

Check out the track at Kick Kick Snare and pre-order the album here!
