Lightheaded share a new single, ‘Bright Happy Girls’.
This single is taken from their debut album, Combustible Gems, due 17th May.
They also shared UK tour dates, including London’s The Lexington on 24th July with Birdie and Tony Molina.
The debut album is charming pop, following the trio’s recent EP titled Good Good Great!
Stephen from the band says of the song: “Not to get too VH1 Behind The Music but… ‘Bright Happy Girls’ was written on the fly, in Cynthia’s basement at a practice four years ago. Sara was there, which was the first time we ever wrote with her. Stephen was just playing a really simple progression with that sorta stabbing stacatto rhythm, and Sara just started to play this wonderful swelling and bursting guitar line over it. I remember having these images floating around in my head during this period “sprinting then shapeshifting” and “bright happy girls”… I guess I worry that song doesn’t really make too much sense! To me, it’s sort of about the feeling of running around with Cynthia, Sara, and Jo while the world turns.”
