Taking Up Your Precious Time

Pretty Lights

Dusty soul samples meet glitchy boom-bap beats. A hazy, late-night masterpiece of downtempo electronic music that feels like a memory you can't quite place.

October 23, 2006 · Not On Label (Pretty Lights Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A soulful, nocturnal nostalgia that feels like a warm memory of a city you've never visited.

Moments Worth Listening For
the iconic Etta James vocal flip on Finally Moving that feels like a warm embrace
the way the drums stutter and dissolve into the synth pad on Samso
the nine-minute slow-burn evolution of Try to Remember that closes the album in a hazy wash
