Folk-Pop Duo The Light The Heat Announce New EP; Share Lead Single “Afterlight”

Folk-pop duo The Light The Heat initially met in 2014 and began collaborating on music for film and television, until revealing their debut EP Silhouettes in 2017. Now settled into their discography and sound, the pair have officially announced their new EP Afterlight, due November 19th. Following the success of their 2020 full-length Wide Awake, Nashville producer Roary reached out over Instagram with an instrumental for the band, which would become their new single “Afterlight”.

Together, they assemble ponderous cinematic indie folk out of lush instrumentation, thought-provoking lyrics, and soft harmonies. For as much as the music reveals about its creators, it might just show you a thing or two about yourself. “For us, 2020 was a year of reflection,” observes Nathan. “We found ourselves and woke up like, ‘How can we become our true selves and not just be spectators, but actually get involved?’ It encouraged a lot of self-reflection.”

Now with that fresh perspective, the group share their positive outlook on “Afterlight”; Nathan shares: “It basically says, ‘Once the dust settles, we want to be a voice and shine our light’. We want to be aware of everything going on around us and in culture and offer some hope.”
