new music: blacklighter shines on his debut ep #soundcheck

October 21, 2016

Full of tantalizing grooves and snaking riffs, Blacklighter’s self-titled EP is the rare debut that arrives fully formed. From the instrumental intro “Rough Beauty,” Backlighter excels at blending his influences, Memphis soul, 70’s hard rock, 90’s Seattle sound, and a healthy dosage of the Purple One all combine into a sound that’s at once aggressive, funky, and unforgettable. “Altar” and “Bring Me Back” showcase the songwriter’s skill at an undeniable hook. This is a new artist to keep your eye on for sure.
