Bright Light Social Hour

Meet The Bright Light Social Hour, an Austin, Texas band that's just released its second album, Space Is Still the Place. The album is a thoughtful examination of what they call the "Future South," informed by a three-year stint of touring following the 2010 release of their self-titled debut.

They ponder the big questions asked by 20-somethings looking at the reduced prospects the world offers. The music won't let you get too bummed, though. Influenced by deep house, Disclosure and Marvin Gaye, this is a wonderful journey.
