Lights That Change highlight North Wales showcase in Manchester
Lights That Change

Next Wednesday (July 15th), Manchester’s celebrated Northern Quarter venue Gulliver’s will play host to a special bill featuring some of the best new acts from North Wales, including Golden FableLights That Change, Mechanical Owl and Martyn Peters.

Lights That Change, an alternative ethereal dreampop outfit headed by Marc Joy, is taking the stage for the first time since their reformation, with Mandy Clare on vocals, John Bryan on bass and Marc Joy on guitars.

The trio just released their debut single in their new incarnation, also featuring Rebecca Palin (Golden Fable) on vocals and drums from Mal Holmes (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark). These two guests will also both appear elsewhere on Lights That Change’s forthcoming debut LP ‘Byzantium’, expected in early autumn.

Lights That Change released their debut EP ‘Rainbow On Your Shoulder’ in 2013, followed by ‘Whispers in February’ and have received support from BBC, Tom Robinson, and Amazing Radio, among others.  Louder Than War has premiered the new single ‘Voices’, which was released on May 11. The newly-released video is simultaneously premiering on 50thirdand3rd and Jammerzine.

I’m extremely happy to be involved in Lights That Change,” says Mal Holmes. “This has given me the freedom to create something special for ‘Voices’ and the new album doing what I love to do … this is why I started playing drums in the first place”.

The first single from this forthcoming album, entitled ‘Voices’, is chalked full of ethereal wave post-punk magic reminiscent of 4AD’s golden era.  Mandy Clare lays mesmerizing vocals over a bed of drifting, powerfully moving soundscapes.  Lights That Change will also be bringing their new permanent lineup to U.K. live audiences soon.
