The complex layers that build over the unpretentious guitar riff, and the bubbling drums all add to the pure fun and love that the singing expresses. Just like a new relationship, tension is expertly built, with quick releases from the drums roaring in, only to disappear like apparitions of the mind. The slow and vibrato-filled synths skilfully contrast with the building excitement, only to end with a quick release, and the fading note into the abyss. Lightning Dust knows what the listener wants to hear, and they tease us cleverly.

I really dig the juxtaposition of electronic & natural instruments. The vocals remind me of Tegan & Sara, which is a good thing, they fit well with the instrumentation and sort of float above it the whole song. There’s a lot going on, but in a thought out and building way, throughout the song. Catchy, Dancy, and Contagious.

ARCTIC I have never listened to Lightning Dust before, but they had me from the first listen of “I knew.” I love how it starts off a little country/rock and as soon as the synths kick in it’s rock ‘n roll, (I have a soft spot for synths.) As soon as it gets to the chorus they grab you with a catchy chorus of “I knew’s”. The lyrics are lighthearted, intimate, and memorable. Just the kind of tune for driving on a hot summers day, or rocking out in your living room.
