One of my favorite things about the releases we've heard from Canyon Lights so far is that it's rooted in the blues rock that dominated Pat Faherty and Tim Carman's previous band GA-20, but uses that sound as a jumping off point for their own. The Boston band's latest single, "Seventh Son," has the basic blocks of a swampy, blues rock sound, but Canyon Lights dive into the world of 70's psychedelia and glam. The result is a new sound that long time fans of theirs will love while also appreciating their new artistic direction. These are sounds that mesh together perfectly, and when they're unified by musicians like Faherty, Carman, and Heather Gillis, you simply can't go wrong.
Pat Faherty and Tim Carman say of their upcoming album:
“The songs on this album are among the most personal we’ve ever written and recorded. Spending 200 days a year on the road, struggling with separation and loss, the thrill and loneliness of living out of a suitcase... a lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this album. We held nothing back and we can’t wait for you all to experience these stories with us...”
