The love child of Tame Impala and Umphrey’s McGee, Austin, Texas-based outfit The Bright Light Social Hour prove that they are worthy of carrying the neo-psych-rock torch for years to come with their latest, Space Is Still the Place. The ensemble strings together 10 tracks, seamlessly dipping into the psychedelic and jam worlds all at once. Whether it’s the frenetic opener “Sweet Madeline” or a soaring “Dreamlove” soundscape that segues into the prog-infused “Ghost Dance,” Space Is Still the Place exemplifies their ability to remain cohesive while moving between various genres and styles. This trait, displayed on the album from start to finish, is sure to shoot The Bright Light Social Hour to the top of festival lineups and add to their already infectious and irresistible live show.
