From London, Grace Lightman found her place as a member of psych crew The Hypnotic Eye, eventually leaving to pursue a solo career. However, with her she brought a pervasive lick of the blissed out, leftfield, expectation defying attitude that elevates her pop works. The result is tracks like Repair Repair and Fangs; retro, indulgent and deliciously sunkissed, like drinking pina coladas with Lana Del Rey at a sixties swingers party.
‘Fangs’, was her first release on new label Handsome Dad, takes heavy influence from the ’60s, yet there’s a probing mystery behind the track’s floaty vocals.
Appearing as the A-side of a new single alongside ‘Halloween Is Over’, there’s clearly a bloodthirsty attitude to Lightman’s latest twists and turns, and they’re simply irresistible. After all, she talks of an otherworldly alter-ego, the Silver Eater, and it all starts to make sense.
‘Fangs’/’Halloween Is Over’ comes out on Handsome Dad Records.
