Formed from the ashes of early shoegazers Spiritualized (for whom Jason Hart was a touring guitarist) and blue-eyed soul duo the Lighthouse Family, the Orange Lights mix downtempo atmospherics with adult alternative guitar rock. Co-creators Hart (vocals, guitar) and Paul Tucker (keyboards) were first introduced by a shared friend, but it wasn't until both musicians suffered the mutual loss of a friend/relative that their cathartic collaborations began.
