Pretty Lights is one of my favorite artists today. Every one of his songs has so many different parts but they all weave togeth with churning grooves that you can feel in your gut. The music can be jazzy, trippy, relaxed, and intense all at the same time as he balances electro with funk and jazz and samples with live instrumentals. Its the balance that makes it all work and Pretty Lights the most inventive electro artist today.
His songs are long but they rarely drag because they are always shifting and taking you along like a groovy riptide. This new EP (as he puts it) implements "the transitioning between something pretty and organic to something heavy and electro. A sort of a dimension flip." This dimension flip is the secret to how his music works and it makes this EP a jump in the right direction for Pretty Lights. Take a listen and let him take you on the journey that is "Spilling Over Every Side."
You can download the full album at prettylightsmusic.com and I highly recomend that you do. But, here are a few highlights.
