Wan Light

"The grim reality" is not only one of the best songs of the year, but the grim reality is also that summer's ending and this review is way too long overdue (my sincere apologies to the band who gave me this CD when they played in London ages ago). Wan Light sounds a bit like The Postal Service or a lo-fi version of The Flaming Lips (musically, but also lyrically - e.g. "The Eskimo in me"), and there's also a pleasant veil of melancholy over their music. The singer's voice might be an acquired taste, but if you manage to get over that obstacle there's plentiful to be gained from Wan Light.
