One of the band’s early demo tracks, “Winter Flowers”, has been issued through a premiere at Brooklyn Vegan; listen below, purchase here:
In March 2017, Greg Anderson and Jade Devitt began to make music with one another again, having previously played together in the nineties with Engine Kid. Starting with the formula of extreme dynamics that they had perfected in the years previous as Engine Kid, the pair have added their more-than-twenty-years of musical experience and taken the music in a new and different direction. Chance encounters and serendipitous moments fortified the final line up of This White Light with the addition of Bryan Herweg and Jen Wood.
This White Light explore the contrast of darkness and light. Their music is delicate when called for, powerful when necessary.
Watch for updates on This White Light in the months ahead.
