Recorded in June of '10 and mixed with John Congleton (Clinic, The Walkmen), 'The Big Fear' shows Quiet Lights at their most vulnerable and ambitious. The first single, Ablaze, has a sweeping, dynamic exuberance. Look for the full album to be released early next year.
lyrics
so my friend, you changed your mind again
it’s alright
these oscillations don’t hurt me as much as they might
we can wander as slow as you want to go, it’s fine
forward and back, if you spin off the track, I don’t mind
you can find your way, take the time you like
not everything will get done tonight
there’s another chance
so my friend, you walk this road again
but it’s new
one step at a time, no one can do this but you
we can wander as slow as you want to go, it’s fine
you can find your way, take the time you like
not everything will get done tonight
it’s fine

I'm enjoying this Philadelphia all-female indie rock trio's 2014 LP on Siltbreeze which has plenty of driving guitar. I think their style fits with current bands that have prominent guitar like Eternal Summers and Shunkan. I love loud guitars and this as well. Also check out their 2015 "Hundreds and Thousands" 7" on Self Aware, which sounds more polished. Art Fin
