About Dover Lights
Dover Lights, a duo from the Ozark Mountains, create a vespertine world, equally visceral and cerebral, with their self-titled debut album. Dover Lights alludes to life's deepest longings, fears, and pain in an enigmatic package whose sounds can best be compared to music from the vaults of 1980s/late 1970s English cult acts and New Wave, interlaced with futuristic elements and folk noir. The album achieves a singularity with Brinker’s voice guiding the listener through Moore’s shape-shifting guitar work, telling tales of dreams, travels, relationships, and supernatural encounters — wielding poetic instincts from the realms of William Blake and Jorge Luis Borges. A cinematic outpouring, the front-loaded Side A plays out like radio hits from a dying star system while side B reads as a book of echoes as the album dissolves into a poignant vision of the future from a distant past.
Influences
The music takes influence from our distant mentors — notably Tears for Fears, The Jesus and Mary Chain, This Mortal Coil, Pearls Before Swine, and Nick Drake.
