Midnight Machines

Description

Little Machines is a special acoustic CD-EP by the Canadian electro-pop artist Lights, released on Warner Bros. Records in April 2016. It is a collection of acoustic versions of selected tracks featured on her latest album Little Machines, released back in 2014, as well as two new recordings.

Midnight Machines is more than just an acoustic retelling of 2014’s Little Machines. With the instruments stripped way back, Lights’ vocals are more emotion-packed and confidently honest than they’ve ever sounded. Where «Up We Go» was once a peppy electro-pop fist-pumper, and «Muscle Memory» a slinky, arpeggiated-synth groover, here they’re direct, tender, and vulnerable. But what’s more important is that Midnight Machines gets you listening to the gorgeous songs she’s penned, unbleached by production flash. It’s a rare feat to improve upon a record by redoing it years later – but that’s arguably the case with this beauty.
