Lights is a Canadian musician, singer, and songwriter. She has released three full length records and several EPs. So yeah, Midnight Machines is really good. Her acoustic renditions of her songs are one of my favorite things about her.
I think I remember enjoying Siberia more, but it's been a long time since I listened to it. So now her last two albums both have "Machines" in the title?
I think she's unfairly grouped with electronic acts like Owl City. I think she's a much better songwriter and relies less on production values than most "scene" electronic artists. Little Machines was fantastic. Speeding, Slow Down, and Child are my favorite from the album, but front to back I don't skip many songs.
Her acoustic arrangements of her own songs improve with every record. The acoustic version of "Up We Go" on Midnight Machines is killer.
Definitely was a poor stream. But now the whole thing is at that link archived, so you can watch without buffering
She is a fucking queen, a statement I have been proudly beating the drum for since 2009, when people made fun of me for it. Joke's on them, though, 'cause we tried to emulate her sound and it turned into probably our best-liked song. Haha.
