Adam Palmer and The Specialest - Lights

According to the blurb “Lights” was written whilst Adam Palmer was in the Canadian wilderness trying to cope with a failing relationship. I t would appear he threw himself into his work in order to take his mind off the heartache with an album that utilizes synthesizers, acoustic strings, banjo and a multitude of interesting sounding items. Whether Palmer’s voice, which graced Eleazer VS John’s debut album, Pits in the Sandblaster in 2009, can compete with the musical experimentation taking place underneath is debatable, but the meaning and sentiment behind the 12 electronically charged folk offerings is not in doubt.
