Deep Ellum Art Company Presents: The Bright Light Social Hour “Their expansive sound, penchant for experimentation and incredible shows combine a psychedelic southern blues-rock aesthetic with danceable electronics… Continually exhilarating.” –David Dye, NPR’s World Cafe Austin-based pop-psychopomps The Bright Light Social Hour have made a triumphant return with their delectable and electrifying new album “Emergency Leisure”. Comprised of Jackie O'Brien (bass/vocals), Curtis Roush (guitar/vocals), Mia Carruthers (keys/vocals), Zac Catanzaro (drums), and Juan Alfredo Ríos (percussion), the band once again showcase their exceptional and infectious melodies, flooded with their distinctive propulsive rhythms and carnal energy. The Bright Light Social Hour have established themselves as a ceaseless force to be reckoned with in the tapestry of American psych-rock. With four prior studio albums, including the highly acclaimed Space Is Still the Place and Jude I & II, their sound defies conventions and continues to evolve. Their impressive portfolio includes composing original soundtracks for HBO, MTV, and Nintendo, and they even had the honour of writing and recording the award-winning theme for Amazon's "Sneaky Pete" at the request of Bryan Cranston.
