Givers’ Debut Album In Light

Givers’ debut album In Light is set to be released June 7th. You’d never know that this quintet was from Lafayette, Lousiana–their pop sensibility infused into reverb-laden indie rock slots them perfectly alongside East Los Angeles mainstays Local Natives, Grouplove, and Lord Huron (which comes as no surprise knowing that the album was mixed by Ben Allen [Animal Collective, Deerhuner, Cee-Lo] and Chris Coady [Beach House, Grizzley Bear]).

After tinkering indie-pop opening track “Up Up Up,” the album segues right into the dirtier and musically intricate “Meantime.” It’s then followed by the folk-infused “Saw You First” and “Ripe.” “Ceiling Of Plankton” and “In Your Eyes” are driven by a catchy afro-pop beat the it slows down a bit for the ballad “Go Out At Night.” The album closes with the passionate and catchy “Words” whose bridge and outro touch on a Japanese influence.

In Light showcases a wide range of influences, while maintaining consistent to their own style of catchy indie-pop. It’s no wonder that they’ve been asked on tour by The Dirty Projectors and Ra Ra Riot. The hype around the band has already been buzzing and with this debut album, it will no doubt continue to grow

Check out the folk-infused electro-pop “Saw You First”:
