By Lightning!
Left Hand Right Hand

This weekend marked the official release of By Lightning!’s full-length album Left Hand Right Hand. I’m not sure where to procure it online – hopefully it pops up here soon – but whatever effort is involved in getting a physical version is well worth it. There’s a lot going on throughout the album but the consistent elements – the male / female vocal exchanges and Melancholy Yet Pop songwriting style – kill it every time. Much like De Novo Dahl and Dixie Dirt, it seems likely that By Lightning is poised to be embraced by a larger audience; there’s something undeniably enjoyable about the overall energy and passion in every song.

Preview it here and here while you wait for the full collection to show up here.
