Saramago: Peaking Lights Sound System plus guests

Join the Peaking Lights Sound System as they choose their favourite records in Saramago Café Bar.

Peaking Lights, the husband and wife duo of Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis, have channelled a rich background of lives dedicated to music, touring, and pushing artistic boundaries into a band that reflects their relationship; a sum that transcends its parts. Finding themselves in a cross country move from the Bay Area of San Francisco to a house built into a barn in rural Wisconsin, Peaking Lights sound origin was created with humility and love with a personal touch directed by Aaron's home built synths, effects units and rhythm machines. Peaking Lights have maintained a sound distinction all of their own fusing influences as wide ranging as afro beat, disco, psychedelic rock, synth pop, krautrock, reggae and noise into songs that are as smooth, lush and elegant as they are propulsive, rhythmic and noisy.

Last year's release of Lucifer was described a “fluid, ecstatic dance of blips and bleeps that reflects the couple's love of sound, of cosmic psychedelia, dub, art-rock, electronica and everything in between". The result is the best album Peaking Lights have yet recorded. (The Guardian 4/5). Check out its cousin, Lucifer in Dub.
