Official press release:
Spotlights, the Brooklyn-based band featuring Mario and Sarah Quintero (formerly of Sleep Lady), have signed to Ipecac Recordings.
The band, who tour as a trio, are working on an as-of-yet untitled full-length with ISIS’/Palms’ Aaron Harris serving as producer. A fall release date is expected.
The band commented:
“It’s such an honor to join Ipecac’s amazing roster. We couldn’t have imagined a better home for the band and our new record.”
Ipecac co-owner Greg Werckman added:
“The best part of being a music fan is discovering new artists. The best part of being a record label is getting to be the place that introduces music fans to diverse artists. We are thrilled to add Spotlights to the Ipecac family and are sure that a lot of people will share our enthusiasm for their music.”
Spotlights’ most recent releases include the Spiders EP and a previously released full-length titled Tidals, which MetalSucks called “one of the most memorable albums of the year.” CLRVYNT described the band’s music as “ultra-dense dream-rock” while Brooklyn Vegan dubbed the outfit “sludgegazers.”
Spotlights, who were handpicked to open on the Deftones’ summer 2016 tour, will return to the road this summer. Tour dates to be announced soon.
