Lightning Bug, the recording project New York songwriter Audrey Kang with friends Kevin Copeland and Logan Miley, has quietly taken shape across a handful of self-releases since 2015. October Song, their second full-length, finds them in full stride, arriving at a balance of silence and noise. Sonically, they operate in varying levels of static, moving between sparse folk and dreamy shoegaze. The ebbs and flows mirror Kang's lyrics, which, per the band, "explore the cycle of tension and release involved with developing self-trust." The collection is out as a cassette on Marbled Arm Records.
