Album Notes

WeeklyTapeDeck.com

“Adam of Borrowed Beams of Light sent us their new eponymous EP which hits a high with the track ‘Kids Are Great!!!’ five-sixths of the way through the record; a jumping, jiving track in the key of stone-washed denim. The Virginian duo promises to be a band to watch for the future.”

“Oh wow this record is great.”

“Charlottesville VA’s Borrowed Beams Of Light play self-described ‘sunny indie pop’ and personally I am at a loss to come up with a more fitting description.”

“Charlottesville, VA resident Adam Brock, aka Borrowed Beams of Light recently sent over his self-titled EP, and it is fucking incredible. Adam's initial description of the album called it ‘Village Green era Kinks meets Destroyer’ and that couldn't be more spot-on. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS.”

“Borrowed Beams of Light – self-released – Unbridled exuberance, like if Bowie’s ‘Five Years’ was a happy song. Surrender Dorothy – to the sun!!! “

“holy smokes this record is good. anytime you can start talking about the kinks, guided by voices, the flaming lips, etc. and not be talking about anything being derivative, then something good is going on. when will this great band break worldwide? only time will tell. incredibly sharp lyrics that don't ever forget about melody and harmony, and also songs that remember what a bridge is for. am i done gushing? for now perhaps..."

"This year I am thankful for the sun, the moon, and BBOL."

Cville Weekly

"Borrowed Beams of Light—Brock’s decidedly low-stress, high-quality solo project—proves that one of Charlottesville’s most gifted drummers may also write the curviest hooks...splits the pocket symphony pop of bands like Destroyer with the Village Green-ery of The Kinks."
