the lightsleeper

indie electro pop from austria electronic beats collide with chamber music as well as fat
basslines and electronic effects meet soulful, occasionally
megalomaniacal piano playing or indie guitars; the whole thing
rounded off by a catchy singing voice transporting less catchy
lyrics.
the lightsleeper takes the best of iamx, get well soon, beirut as
well as coldplay and the worst of radiohead and muse and distills
it to a intoxicating and mind expanding mixture.
