Arriving straight from the summer sun, it offered up the necessary big bass lines, gritty\nlo-fi production, and wanderlust charm that we needed to survive heatwaves. Where that\nrecord did a bit of a tightrope walk, though, was in its seemingly split personalities. It was a\nrecord culling heavily from dub music, filtered through a clear education in krautrock (Neu!,\nKraftwerk), all while throughout trying to appeal to today’s scene of, what’s everyone calling it,\nchillwave? Those are quick associations, but the record undeniably hit on a multitude of styles,\nultimately making it highly intriguing to see what would come next. Lucifer, the followup, takes\nall the right steps. While there is an obvious upgrade in its polished production, the charm of\n936’s sun soaked melodies is retained, and furthermore, refined. Singer Indra Dunis softly guides\nboundless interplays between organs, drum machines, and husband Aaron Coyes’ modular\nsynths (allegedly assembled from second-hand, thrift store electronics). Thick layers of reverb\nand echo accompany an almost call-and-response between treble and bass ranges. It brings\nto mind some scenario in which a band like Broadcast or Stereolab meets Lee Perry or King\nTubby, and the two wind up having a baby. Furthermore, the husband\/wife duo of Dunis and\nCoyes explain the album as an ode to and story of their own newborn, that it is “about exploring\nthe world as a newborn would.” Lucifer is the product of its parents, Peaking Lights’ previous\nwork, a sturdy base of influence, but all the while treads very exciting (relaxing might be more\nappropriate, excitingly relaxing) newness. Highlights including “Beautiful Son”, “Cosmic\nTides”, and “LO HI”. Also Includes a super cool flexi-disc with \"Beautiful Son.\"\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003emusic label: Mexican Summer 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by A.
