The Hot Light

by Bi Score

supported by

EJB Came here for Paradise Killer, stayed for the freshly glazed beats. Killer album. Favorite track: The Secret to Power.

Ro Panuganti A duo with plenty of blues rock love, experimental sound, and cohesion throughout their debut! Favorite track: Shark Boyfriend.

Ian Martyn Oops all bangers!

Seriously, fantastic album all the way through. Lots of variety here, but definitely that sort of unhinged fun you'd expect from a goblin duo. I didn't know how much my life needed a Ghost x Castlevania mashup, but I don't know how I'd live without it now. Favorite track: Belmont's Hammer.

thelimitbreakers This entire album is DUMMY THICC. But seriously, these goblins made this amazing album and you should totally cop you a copy. Ya dig?! -Jisun Favorite track: Dummy THICC (Featuring Ian Martyn & Jisun Hughes).

Living in the night 'Neath heavens torn asunder You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme As I'm closing in Imposing on your slumber You call on me as bells begin to chime Are you on the square? Are you on the level? Are you ready to swear right here, right now Before the devil That you're on the square That you're on the level That you're ready to stand right here, right now Right here, right now Hiding from the light Sacrificing nothing Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine Hammering the nails Into a sacred coffin You call on me for powers clandestine Are you on the square? Are you on the level? Are you ready to swear right here, right now Before the devil That you're on the square That you're on the level That you're ready to stand right here, right now Right here, right now Are you on the square? Are you on the level? Are you ready to swear right here, right now Before the devil That you're on the square That you're on the level That you're ready to stand right here, right now Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here, right now

about

Have you ever been to a Krispy Kreme when the Hot Light is on? There’s no better small joy on earth than being able to enjoy a hot, fresh glazed donut right off the line. It melts in your mouth like nothing else.
We hope The Hot Light is an album that brings you similar joy. A sweet, gooey, melty amalgamation of tasty riffs and funky licks. A soundtrack to your next little treat. An ode to the things we love - about these games, about these tunes and about each other.

The songs are fantastic and fun - it's so easy for me to listen to this album on repeat. And the album cover is so great. The pun on the title just makes me chuckle every time I look at it. I really wish I could buy a physical copy of your other albums as well! tousledbirb
