Lovelite Releasing New Album 'Apocalypse Hymnal'
Californian duo Lovelite will release their new album 'Apocalypse Hymnal' on October 26th 2018 featuring the new single 'Mercy Rain'. "These love songs are worshipful reactions to the divided climate of our culture", explain the band. "Hate drives us away from each other and mercy draws us together."
Fronted by the married duo of Andrew and Jen Polfer, Lovelite embodies an otherworldly sense of reverence in textures that recall the heyday of ‘80s/90s techno-pop. Pawn shop synthesizers, worn drums, and programmed beats are wrapped in layers of reverb with two voices that paint an image of God’s creativity and grace.
Andrew’s earnest vocal manner contrasts with Jen’s dreamier bearing creating a unique vocal blend. The band’s lyrics emphasize spiritual gratitude in language that mixes pop hooks with the stateliness of traditional hymnody. Lovelite avoids familiar praise music modes in favor of something more individual and, possibly, more moving.
