Potent Quotables

“The debut LP from Chicago's Lightleak is taut, carefully composed indie rock that doesn't lose any urgency to its intricate arrangements.”
-Bandcamp

“The placid indie rock of Lightleak’s debut LP is perfect for a sunny fall day. The songs of Tender Fits burst and bloom with horns, lively acoustic guitars, and shimmery keys; the brass section, in particular, lends the album a soulful undercurrent that gives it a unique feeling in the current indie rock landscape.”
-Zac Djamoos, The Alternative

“The record truly has something for everyone, whether you favor the sharp speed of Fugazi or just a touch of witty lyricism, churning bass lines or soaring trombone and trumpet… There’s clearly a wellspring of inspiration for Currier to draw from, be it post-punk or buoyant bands with well-defined brass and percussion, and one hopes future releases won’t shy away from doing so.”
-Beau Hayhoe, Atwood Magazine

“The way his vocals hang on the notes creates a sound that you may have never heard while you’re blown away by how the instruments play together. The sound is mesmerizing and it hits on every spot and checks every box.”
-David Garrick, Closed Captioned
