01:48 AM - Fulton Lights (Record release tonight) | Not going to Austin (PART 3)

At first appearing to be something of a solo project for Andrew Spencer Goldman, Fulton Lights is at the same time a massive collective, featuring the sort of contributors whose names might not make the press come running, but who certainly indicate the level on which this music is working. Among the credited players are members of more than a few highly respectable groups: Chrismas Decorations, Eggs, Dalek, Demander, Beauty Pill, Ida, among others.

With so many names attached, you'd expect quite a racket - but the result is very controlled and subdued, though its airiness and slow pace feel like it can grow in the way that other local bands like Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective have mastered so well - though where they tend to head off into a claustrophobic world of indistinct sonic textures, the music of Fulton Lights is sweeter and keeps a steadier hand. Less drug music, more daydream music, I'd say.

Fulton Music - "Fire in the palm of my hand"

Tonight, Fulton Lights celebrate their record release with a show at Tonic. Joining them are Still (who also plays with the band) and Frances.
