Ded

Alt-pop icon Lights is back with her new project dEd.

Lights goes on to say about dEd: “After each of my last four albums I’ve released acoustic counterparts, it’s something that fans expect at this point. But PEP never felt like an acoustic thing to me. I actually haven’t picked up my acoustic guitar in a long time, it’s just not right for this era. PEP is alt, hyper and vibrantly sarcastic, visually extravagant and exaggerated in all forms, so I wanted its counterpart to be the absolute opposite: dark, chill and electronic. I enjoyed really developing my production toolset, digging into the chill step genre, using heavy bass tones set on dreamy soundscapes. If PEP is for dancing and feeling yourself, dEd is for driving and making out. After all, dEd is PEP turned upside down—even the track list is reversed.”
