The second full-length studio album by Canadian electro-synth-pop sensation LIGHTS was released 13 days ago. On the first listen one can immediately hear that LIGHTS has grown immensely as a musician, producer and artist. Her songs seem more complex musically, electronically and lyrically than they did on The Listening. I wouldn't say that Siberia is a better album than The Listening because the both albums are amazing in different ways, but Siberia is an absolute master-piece. It's catchy right from the opening title track Siberia right through to the 9 minute closing track , Day One, which is a live recording of the first jam session LIGHTS had with fellow Canadian musicians Holy Fuck. LIGHTS has said that the album is a lot more gritty than The Listening and has a lot of Dubstep elements particularly in Flux and Flow, Where the fence is low, Suspension and Fourth dimension.
Over-all Siberia is an album that was well worth the wait and is one of my favourite albums of 2011. Siberia also features Canadian rapper and hip-hop artist Shad on two of the tracks. Do yourself a favour and get your hands on this album. Both Deluxe edition CD and special Red vinyl are available at http://music.iamlights.com/store/ and on Itunes.
