Editorial Reviews

2009 debut from the New Hampshire band. Adult Nights was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Guided By Voices), and features 13 original tracks co-written by all the members - guitarist Jordan Alexander, keyboarders and bassists Seth Pitman and Tim Kyle and drummer Seth Kasper. The four childhood friends officially formed Wild Light in 2005 and since then have gone on to play with numerous notable acts including MGMT, LCD Soundsystem, The Gutter Twins, and Arcade Fire (which Tim was a founding member of).

In the early 90s or even the early 70s this lp would have been high on the charts. Today unfortunately it probably won't happen. Too many good melodies and toe tappin' tunes for today's listener or buyer. Wild Light is very reminiscent of early 90s groups such as the Gin Blossoms or the Rembrandts.
Califorina on My Mind should be a huge hit. The repititous use of the f word (hate that type of characterization that presumes only one word begins with f) should not be in it's way, but it might be.
If you truly apprecitate rock & roll as it was created and not today's pabulum or the truly forgetable rap (can't imagine the musical joy in a 20th reunion where people have no recollection of the "lyrics" in top selling rap lps), then you must BUY THIS DISC. Don't let these guys go the way of groups like the Avett Brothers who put out consistantly good lps that only their core group of fans ever hear.
It remains in my heavy rotation and should be in yours.
