(New Release)

Written by: Ginny Gaines 

Illiterate Light, the dynamic duo from the Harrisonburg, Virginia, has unveiled their third studio album titled Arches, on November 1, 2024. This latest offering showcases the band's growth, pushing the boundaries of their signature sound and delivering an emotionally charged experience. Arches is a departure from their previous work, diving deeper into a more experimental and thoughtful realm. The album is a freeing release, exploring themes of love, loss, societal issues, and personal struggles. Illiterate Light's signature blend of gritty indie rock, neo-psychedelia, and folk is still present, but it's been elevated to new heights, incorporating elements of noise rock.

This album has 9 tracks on it that include "Payphone," "All the Stars are Burning Out," "Black Holes," "I Ride Alone," "No Way Out," and "Blood Lines." So far, it seems Arches has been well received by fans and critics alike. Arches production, handled by Illiterate Light themselves alongside Danny Gibney and Joe Chiccarelli, is impeccable. The sound is raw and unfiltered, capturing the band's live energy and intensity. Each instrument is given its space to breathe, creating a rich and immersive soundscape.

Arches is a bold and ambitious album that solidifies Illiterate Light's position as an exciting and innovative band in the indie rock scene. It's a testament to their artistic vision and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of their sound. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the band, "Arches" is an essential listen.
