Lightfoils - Hierarchy

One of Chicago's brightest new bands, Lightfoils pushes the Shoegaze genre into new territory. Formed in 2010, the band is comprised of Neil Yodnane and Zeeshan Abbasi on guitars, Jane Zabeth on vocals, Cory Osborne on bass and John Rungger on drums. Lightfoils mean business. Building on the promise of their EP, HIERARCHY does not disappoint. 'Polar Waves' welcomes you with guitars that chime and ring, before the track slowly lifts you blissfully into space. Immediately following is 'Last One', which seethes with a simmering intensity and propulsive rhythm section, and you're hooked. Only two tracks in, Lightfoils already own your soul. Hazy soundscapes, ringing guitar, icy synth, feather-light vocals, and actual compelling tunes, Lightfoils use HIERARCHY to serve notice: their EP was no fluke, and they will no longer be ignored.
