Психоделическая рок-группа из Остина, штат Техас. Рожденная из университетского арт-рок коллектива. На группу впервые обратили внимание в Остине во время их зажигательных живых выступлений. Инновационное видение рок-н-ролла, южного рока, психоделического блюза. Музыка, которая цепляет душу. Их одноименный дебютный альбом привлек внимание критиков, шесть наград на SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards, в том числе "Группа года", "Альбом года", и "Песня года".

После выхода альбома сыграли более четырехсот концертов по всей территории Соединенных Штатов, Канады и Мексики, в том числе выступили на фестивале Lollapalooza

Свой второй полноформатный LP, Space Is Still the Place, группа выпустила 10 марта 2015 на лейбле Frenchkiss Records и MapleMusic Recordings (Канада).

Спойлер: The Bright Light Social Hour (2010)

Melding southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues, and deep soul, the debut full-length album from The Bright Light Social Hour has led to heightening critical acclaim, international touring, and a rare sweep of six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards, including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. Recorded in five studios around Austin during summer 2010, "The Bright Light Social Hour" is founded on sun-drenched optimism, raucous youth, and an innovative brew of American music. Producer Danny Reisch of Good Danny's utilized the best elements of vintage and modern recording to achieve a sound both forward-looking and evocative of 1970s hi-fi. The first track, "Shanty," pairs southern rock with hard disco, featuring the searing slide licks of guitarist Curtis Roush. Following the lean, exuberant stomp of "Bare Hands Bare Feet," the band settles into the dark psychedelic funk of "La Piedra De La Iguana." Throughout the middle of the record, the solemn rhythm and blues of "Detroit" is juxtaposed with "Back And Forth," a four-on-the-floor disco-funk romp. On "Garden Of The Gods," the album's penultimate 10-minute epic, the band evolves from stately ballroom Americana to an expansive, ensemble anthem, conjuring up their limber and unrelenting live sets. The fiery "Rhubarb Jam" closes out the record, featuring the agile, booming funk of bassist Jack O'Brien and drummer Joseph Mirasole.

Странно, мне казалось, что тема была уже.

Хорошая группа, дебютный ЛП очень нравится.
