Illiterate Light w/ Shane T & Feeves | Three Links Formed in the
summer of 2015, Illiterate Light transcend expectations of typical
rock music through their limitations as a duo. Jeff Gorman elevates
his gritty guitar melodies and honest lyricism by stomping out
thunderous synth bass with his feet as Jake Cochran layers lush vocal
harmony and explodes with body convulsing energy around his minimalist
standing drum kit. Gorman and Cochran’s incessant writing,
commanding live performance, and constant touring promise a bright
future as they finish their debut album with Vance Powell (Jack White,
Kings of Leon, Chris Stapleton) and Adrian Olsen (Foxygen, Natalie
Prass). “Better Than I Used To” is the first taste of what’s to
come from Illiterate Light. Spanning the better part of a decade, the
creative evolution between Gorman and Cochran is far from ordinary.
The duo has run an organic farm in the Shenandoah Valley, toured the
mid-Atlantic in bands by bicycle, and lived in small communities while
pursuing modes of alternative education. Their eclectic background is
mirrored in their sound and lyricism, floating between postmodern
confusion and vibrant optimism. Though shaped by the DIY music scene
of their hometown Harrisonburg VA, the duo has grown immensely through
immersion in the thriving communities of both Richmond, VA and
Nashville, TN.
