Pretty Lightning share new single 'In Place Of Bees, Glow Worms', the second to be lifted from upcoming album 'Night Wobble' out Feb 21st.

Pretty Lightning are today releasing ‘In Place Of Bees, Glow Worms’. The second single to be lifted from their recently announced upcoming album ‘Night Wobble’ out Feb 21st. Pre-order the LP now on limited colour gatefold vinyl here

On the new single, the band say: “In Place Of Bees, Glow Worms was the first song we made for Night Wobble. It spawned the conceptual idea that guided the writing of the songs to follow and outlines the scene we´re in: it´s dusk at forest´s edge and the opening guitar warbles along to a setting sun until the first beat cracks through the creaking branches. The ramblers enter the woods while a lap steel´s mangled, distant howling hints that an extensive woodland awaits them. They sneak on carefully to gentle ringing chords, gain pace only slowly by the tapping of the bongos and eventually find themselves in a pleasant trot that makes them flow even further into the night. Well, this could be a story, or one could just skip the talk and only listen to the music."

The newly-announced ‘Night Wobble’ LP is a set of downtempo, repetitive grooves that course through dusty spaghetti-western psychedelia, Tuareg-derived desert-blues, library music and '70s progressive. It’s always cinematic but shot through with trippy, off-kilter moments that bring a sense of alien to the widescreen panoramas here – this is an “oozy, woozy cowboy groove”, as they put it. If it was David Lynch who directed ‘Paris, Texas’ then Ry Cooder’s soundtrack might have sounded something like this.
