No matter how much research you put into figuring out who will be the hottest new artists of each year, another act comes into your vision with an output that absolutely blows you away. Today, that band is Austin, Texas’ The Bright Light Social Hour. The Huffington Post is pleased to announce the upcoming release of their new album, “Space Is Still The Place,” and premiere their first single, “Infinite Cities.”
Comprising members Jack O’Brien, Curtis Roush and Joseph Mirasole, as well as Edward “Shreddward” Braillif, “Infinite Cities” kicks off a quick, hi-hat groove before some spacey guitar picks begin echoing overtop. A swirling bridge shows Roush occasionally sliding into dissonance, just nearing resolution before the next line picks up, leading into one final chorus where O’Brien and Roush’s harmonies line up the strongest. According to O’Brien, the song is about “quick movement or a quick change as a new form of home,” in which one tries “to find a sense of stability or comforting identity within the movement itself.”

Furthering this their theoretical departure into the final frontier, O’Brien, Roush and Mirasole decided to send HuffPost Entertainment a list of their possible blast off songs: the final tunes they would listen to as the departed Earth for forever.
You can preorder “Space Is Still The Place” on iTunes here, which will be available on March 10, and make sure to check out the dates for their upcoming spring tour.
