Forro in the Dark Go Soph

Nublu reports: Forro in the Dark, the band that has been rocking Wednesday's at Nublu for the past five years is back with their sophomore release Light a Candle via Nat Geo / Nublu Records.

They are both faithful and subversive of the genre-experimentally mixing in electric guitar, elements of hip hop and electronica, and instruments foreign to forro. The result is a music that extends the essence of the style: dance music best heard live!

So, the new album was recorded almost entirely live, with minimal overdubs, capturing the high-energy performance that folks best know them for. The 13 song comprising the new album Light a Candle, a name borrowed from a Neil Young song, was recorded at Flux Studios in NYC with the help from producer Fab and many great friends. - more on this story

The songs will be available for both free and paid download on Bandcamp.com via the bands Song of The Week blog.

This week the inaugural composition is the captivating "Tiny Red Light". As Paul describes it, the "song was written about a fight I had with a girl about my seemingly constant drinking. We had gone to bed, still angry, and neither one of us could sleep.

"The only source of light in the room was the tiny red light on the TV that means it's turned off. The lyric is really the unspoken conversation we had while staring at that light."
