The Lightning Year, "Crystaleyed"
They've only released three singles so far, but The Lightning Year might just be my favorite new band of 2017. I got to see them at Great Escape in Brighton last May, and they're also a great live band, although their live sound is much rougher and more psychedelic than their sound on record. "Crystaleyed," for example, is a crisply produced pop single, which chugs along with increasing momentum for the first minute, then has a surge of melodic energy around the 1:00 mark, and an even bigger surge--the killer chorus--around the 2:00 mark.
