Top ten albums of 2017. #2 Spotlights "seismic" The album title says it about as good as i could. Spotlights newest release is earth shaking. It's heavy and beautiful. The band takes the formula that the band Hum started in the '90s and perfected the melancholic and beautiful sound. It's akin to modern heavy shoegaze bands like Jesu and the latter-era Lantlos. If you like those records you'll love this. I was in some bands in the early 'aughts that in my head were heading towards this sound. This is one of those albums i wished i had written. It marries my love of heavy music and sad melodic indie rock perfectly. As some novel trivia: the band is a married couple with hired on drummers. I dont know how they keep it together but here's to hoping that they do for a while longer. Hop8ng to catch them live in 2018.
