About LIGHTS
LIGHTS is the stage name of Canadian singer, songwriter and producer Valerie Poxleitner. Her debut album The Listening was built on twinkling synths and an upbeat, earnest pop voice, and it won her the Juno Award for new artist. Siberia followed with distorted, glitchy production and dubstep-influenced low end, a deliberate turn away from the glossier debut.
Later albums Little Machines and PEP returned to big pop hooks while keeping the heavier textures in reserve. For Skin & Earth she wrote and drew a comic series alongside the record, with each song tied to the story. She also has a sizeable following in rock and metal circles and often strips her songs down for acoustic versions.
