Spune Presents Lucid Express + Letting Up Despite Great Faults w/
Punchlove at The Far Out on April 18! Lucid Express is five young
dreamers who create a stunning airy blend of shoegaze and indie pop
amongst the skyscrapers, mountains, and packed alleyways of Hong Kong.
The name itself a modest mission statement of the band's intent: lucid
in the poetic sense of something bright and radiant. The group formed
as teens in the winter of 2014 in the turbulent weeks just prior to
the Umbrella Movement. Listening to their blissful, dreamy
compositions, it may come as no surprise that these songs carry the
mood of their times of inception. With all members of the band working
late-night shifts, this led to a rehearsal and recording schedule that
found the band playing between midnight and 4am and then crashing
together on the studio floor before returning to work early in the AM.
NME praised the "shimmering guitars and whirring synthesizers," while
Drowned in Sound raved about the group's “ethereal grace” and Time
Out lauded their "dreamy live performances."
