Here Comes the Sun King

Yoooo amigos!!!

TODAY marks the 50th Anniversary of the release of The Beatles' Abbey Road, and to celebrate, we're releasing a cover + video of our favorite deep-cut "Sun King." Check it!!!

CLOSED CAPTIONED EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: The Bright Light Social Hour drops "Sun King" Cover [VIDEO]

*****Stream/purchase here*****

"Austin’s The Bright Light Social Hour share a Texas-tinged neo-psych reimagining of The Beatles’ “Sun King” in honor of the 50th anniversary of the release of Abbey Road. The accompanying video stars controversial Austin nude model Nora Rosenberg as the titular Sun King, who - along with her zombified court - awakens to the sun-bleached ecstasy of being, crescendoing to an ebullient eruption of food, drink and renewed consciousness, all captured on sunny super 8 film by director Jazz Mills and cinematographer Vanessa Pla."

This all came together very suddenly and serendepitously. This song was actually commisioned by Amazon Music for an exclusive playlist in 2016. Earlier this month, I got a calendar reminder that Amazon's exclusive license on the song was up, meaning the rights to the song returned to us. Separately, we'd been talking with Nora, Jazz and Vanessa about doing a video when I saw they'd posted stills from this film in search of someone to soundtrack it. I sent them the song and it was a bizarrely perfect fit. ON TOP OF THAT it happens to be the 50th Anniversary of Shreddward's favorite Beatles record so HERE WE ARE!

I've also put together this Spotify playlist of our summer jams and Vaniel Day Lewis favorites, mostly booty grooves from all eras and parts of the globe, plus a few TBLSH jammies to boot.

A quick update on us:
I just had a baby last month (lil Siena "Starfish" O'Brien), and Shredd has been touring the world as a keyboard/guitar/drum technician for the B-52's, so we're taking these few months off from the road. We thought we had a final version of Jude Vol. II, but we've decided it could be just a little better, so still tying up the loose ends there. I'm currently listening to Curtis play through the 1955 Fender Deluxe he just traded his Champ and Princeton for. OMG it sounds like sweet, sublime ecstasy. Anyway, we hope to have more new stuff in yr ears before long, so be sure to follow us on Apple Music, Spotify or wherever you tune in!

Thank you so much for enjoying our music and for BEING YR BEAUTIFUL SELF!

The Biggest Love,
Jackie O + TBLSH
