Wave Machines

Wave Machines’ “Keep The Lights On” is the perfect track for right this second. Lofi nu-disco that sounds pulled straight from midnight radio to your headphones. This track could be the love child of Hot Chip and Hail Social, but it’s done better. Love totes. Guarantee you’ll be playing it on repeat until your sick of it, but no worries… Wave Machines’ debut album will be out June 09 full of new songs to play on repeat.

Wave Machines – “Keep The Lights On” (via Wave Machines’ website — visit it, ok)
Order the 7-inch from Rough Trade. Now before you have regrets.






Something about this song structure (possibly the vocals too) screams adult contemporary radio. Even so, I really enjoy this song.

Sexy. Don’t get the adult contemporary reference tho. Way too avant garde. Great vocals too.

I agree. If I heard this is the waiting room at the dentist I wouldn’t even flinch.

you were so right about putting this on repeat. I have been listening to it for two days straight and think I can get one more day out of it. BRILLIANT.
