The Bright Light
Social Hour

Austin’s The Bright Light Social Hour are widely recognized as the essence of Texas psych rock – no one better captures or defies the genre, twisting southern blues, hypnotic grooves, and pulsing synths into sweaty, ecstatic journeys that linger long after the lights go up.

From retro-futurist masterpieces like Space Is Still the Place and Emergency Leisure to composing for HBO, MTV, Nintendo, and the award-winning theme for Sneaky Pete at Bryan Cranston’s request, their music drifts between cosmic psychedelia and late-night dancefloor heat, weaving fat basslines, ecstatic percussion, and three-part harmonies that sting and soothe at once.
