Lightning Bug "October Sky" (2019)

October Sky
release date: Sep. 6, 2019
format: digital
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,54]
producer: Lightning Bug
label: selvudgivet - nationality: USA

2nd studio album by Lightning Bug is like the debut Floaters (2015) self-released and may be found on bandcamp. The band consists of songwriter and vocalist Audrey Kang, who also handles bass and drums, Kevin Copeland on guitar, and with Logan Miley on synthesizer and as sound engineer.
Stylistically, Lightning Bug lands somewhere in an indie pop sphere with a distinct shoegaze / dream pop touch, which brings to mind artists such as My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and Flaming Lips without being a mere copy.
October Sky is quite an exciting and original release.
