Psych-rockers The Bright Light Social Hour share influential new single ‘Enough’
The Bright Light Social Hour drop new release ‘Enough’, taken from the upcoming new album ‘Jude Vol. II’ out August 28th 2020. Illuminating itself in a psychedelia arrangement, ‘Enough’ will be right up your street if you’re into Tame Impala and Pond.
Written in a time of great tragedy for the band, creating the album was found as a healing process. Doing what they do best, ‘Enough’ feels poignant and an unforgettable moment in the Austin based group’s discography.
“Curtis and I wrote this one in a day. We were talking about how, as men, we’re conditioned to fear commitment and vulnerability. We feel overwhelming love but enter relationships tepidly, asking, ‘could you be enough for me?’ when we should be asking, ‘could I be enough for me?’
It was the first song we did since the departure of our drummer of 13 years, and Shreddward was touring with the B-52’s so it was just Curtis and I on this one. We did it at our home studio in Austin, as opposed to Sunset Sound in Hollywood where the rest of the record was made. I started playing the bass line, Curtis laid down the fat reggae drums (he was on a big Marley kick at the moment), drum machine and guitars, and we switched off synths and vocals that fell right into place. Curtis really engineered the shit of it.
To me, the upcoming record is a celebration of the profound joy on the other side of terrible loss (in this case the loss of my brother/our manager), and this song is the pinnacle of that joy. It celebrates love and vulnerability as an act of rebellion against toxic masculinity, that you can change the world by feeling your own fucking feelings.” – Jackie O’Brien
An important single within the band’s escalating career, ‘Enough’ spirals through avenues of psychedelic rock, shoegaze and neo-soul.
