To coincide with the announcement, the band have shared the radio edit of the album&#8217;s&nbsp;lead single <em>Summer Nights<\/em>, a densely layered, reverb-laden&nbsp;track with a calculated build-up full of alternately chiming and blanketing guitars, while Lightfoils&#8217; lead singer&nbsp;Jane Zabeth Nicholson&#8217;s sublime vocals float longingly above. You can stream the track via Soundcloud below.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/501219636&amp;color=%23aaadad&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed in 2010, Lightfoils&#8217; sound subtly stretches the auditory boundaries of shoegaze, honing in on a more cosmopolitan and ethereal sound. Clocking in at just over 30 minutes, their new album &#8216;Chambers&#8217;&nbsp;(their first since 2014)&nbsp;represents a band that has mastered the atmospheric tone they&#8217;ve become synonymous with and continue to occupy, almost a decade after formation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band is self-releasing the album, both for the autonomy and for the ability to be intimately involved in all aspects of the album&#8217;s production and subsequent roll-out. Songs like <em>Duende<\/em> sound like a surf rock wave rolling onto darker shores, with the rhythm section keeping an upbeat tempo, keeping one grounded, while the vocals and guitars provide a loss of gravitational control. <em>This Time is Up<\/em> speeds things up with a faster tempo and swirling, distorted guitars, and rattling bass. Zabeth&#8217;s vocal melodies are reminiscent of classic 90s rock that has a touch of grunge, and channels the softness of their shoegaze predecessors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Chicago-based shoegaze\/dream pop band&nbsp;Lightfoils, have announced their new album &#8216;Chambers&#8217;, which is coming out on November 16th (Bandcamp pre-order).
