Pretty Lights is the musical vision of Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, accompanied in the live setting by drummer Cory Eberhard.
Pretty Lights' first two albums, Taking Up Your Precious Time and Filling Up The City Skies have been downloaded over 300,000 times from his website, which equates to over 6.15 million track downloads.
Sunday School is a great introduction to Pretty Lights' sound, where mashed up strings and vocals come together over a fat saw wave bass. With a couple of guest rap vocals over some precision drum programming this track works on or off the dance floor.
Pretty Lights returns with his new album Passing By Behind Your Eyes which is available for free download here. The album continues in the vein of Sunday School, juxtaposing collages of vintage samples against backdrops of futuristic synthesis and dirty broken beats, The sound is not only getting around, it's spreading like a virus.
