Surrender yourself into Naked Lights’ dark and intense orbit! From the first few seconds through to the end, On Nature is intensely addictive and welcomely unpredictable. Shades of post-punk, dub, even anarcho-punk are thrillingly blended into wholly futuristic shapes that defy easy categorization. The cross-talking guitars speak their own thorny language, the atmosphere is wide-focus and carries a subtle tang of danger, and it’s topped off with unique vocals that are as in-your-face as they are intriguing and foreign. An altogether refreshingly vital listen, Naked Lights’ On Nature comes courtesy of Castle Face Records.

***"California's NAKED LIGHT’s debut vinyl release on Berlin's ADAGIO830. Curating tracks from last years limited Chime Grove cassette release on Sanity Muffin, this vinyl release features several new additions and a warm vinyl geared remastering from TIM GREEN. Combining an array of smartly used synths, damaged guitars, dubby baselines, drum machines & live percussion with sparse vocals. Employing early ‘80s antics integrated with sublime worldly, post punk, minimal and kosmische overtones help mark this release as a powerful jumping off point for Naked Lights. Chime Grove is a strong prequel for the band's current live and studio endeavor's which mend newly added singer AURORA CRISPIN’s poignant and playful vocals with a full encompassing post punk splatter, including a classic no frills live show featuring live drums, percussion, double jarring glass like guitars and bass. With the band's newly completed Santo Studio, a full analog recording studio at their disposal, this release charts an important initial offering in Naked Lights no doubt prolific future. Preceding an amalgamation of newer full band compositions, Chime Grove will hold up as a classic, a musically free and expansive listen.” Limited to 500 copies.
