An Australian folk duo, The Frightening Lights feature Elizabeth Downey on guitars and vocals, and Dan Hawkins on organ, keyboards, guitar, and bass. Without a rhythm section, what drives this LP is Downey’s hauntingly beautiful vocals and Hawkins’ minimal and restrained approach to accompaniment: a simple keys melody, a scratchy stringed instrument hovering in the background, a subtly whirling synth, a distorted guitar. Everything rests in balance, never overpowering but always contributing to overall Lynchian atmospherics. The kind of album that would equally appeal to fans of folk-inflected indie cross over acts like Mazzy Star and Sharon Van Etten or those who enjoyed the recent Maxine Funke and Kiwi Animal reissues. -Mitch
