Pretty Lights makes the news again – literally, in the news this time being interview by USA Today (whom you never really hear in the interview at all) — Derek V. Smith (the man behind Pretty Lights Music) does an excellent job at explaining his music while wearing some rather trendy frames as well. To be honest this is one of the first times I have ever heard him really talk about about how he wants the music to make you feel and how he wants it to affect the people at his shows – and yup it’s right on…
the music that you know… touches your soul, but also you know — touches your desire to rage…
it’s like a raw, gritty, warm, analog sound thats also just… mind-bendingly…. dope! and new! -Pretty Lights
I dont think he was pushing it at all with mind-bendingly… that’s exactly what a PL show will do to you first time… your mind is like WTF this is something else, something out of this world, mind-bent over it.
Derek’s comments about the interview:
“I like this interview mainly because my glasses are awesome. and yes they’re prescription.. I took the contacts out for an extra hip-hop vibe. Functional and fashionable. Thats whats up right thur!”
He even shows us a few dance moves as well — hope you enjoyed this share!
Thanks USA today !
