When it comes to the kinetic flow of electronic-rock maven, LIGHTS, her flux capacitor was squarely in synch with the fourth dimension during the creation of her sophomore full-length album, SIBERIA, due October 4th via Lights Music/Last Gang in the U.S. and via Universal Music Canada in her homeland.
“Making this second record was similar to making my first in that I completely discovered myself as an artist all over again,” said Lights. “I've evolved and I've grown more into myself; I'm so excited about the direction of this new album.”
Siberia was co-produced by Lights and her trusted collaborator, Thomas “Tawgs” Salter. Special guest producers include Graham Walsh & Brian Borcherdt from the Canadian indie-electro outfit, Holy Fuck.
The duo initially met Lights to record a couple of songs, but their artistic synergies clicked and eventually they completed nine tracks (including “Everybody Breaks A Glass” & first single “Toes”), peppering Siberia with Holy Fuck’s edgy organic grit and merging them with her trademark synth-pop sounds.
"Thankfully, Lights was open to letting Brian and I take a hold of her songs, and really mess them up. In the end, I think we were able to add a very interesting dark stain to them...in a good way!" Graham Walsh, Holy Fuck.

Previously, fans were treated to a sneak peak of Siberia when “Everybody Breaks A Glass” (“EBAG”) debuted on I AM LIGHTS.COM.
The track features an appearance by Toronto’s lyrically gifted rapper, Shad, who Lights met through a mutual friend and eventually collaborated on two tracks (“EBAG” & “Flux and Flow”).
