Listen to This: Peaking Lights

Dim the lights. Let the soft keys of the xylophones overtake you. Fade in and out in a psychedelic tune by the name of “Moonrise,” the first out of eight trancy tunes on the album “Lucifer” by Peaking Lights.

The family trio from Wisconsin have been around since 2008, starting out performing live to fund a road trip. The band has a mere 14,935 “likes” on Facebook, and while that doesn’t sound like much, in the relatively small-genre market of psychedelic pop, those are some pretty high numbers. Psychedelic-pop reached its most popular point in the late 1960s, then declined in popularity rapidly in the early 70’s.

If you aren’t very familiar with the genre, think about this kind of music The Beatles probably listened to this genre for inspiration when they were writing their songs.

If you’re interested in learning a little bit more about the interesting family, you can visit their website at peakinglights.com.
