Today, electro-pop heavyweight Lights releases two new tracks – “WHITE PAPER PALM TREES,” and “SURFACE TENSION” – from her forthcoming album A6.

Both written and produced by Lights, “WHITE PAPER PALM TREES” brings some of Lights’ early-day influences to the forefront, reminiscent of her more nostalgic leaning material. “SURFACE TENSION” pushes Lights into new territory, channeling dark wave and new wave elements and a string of German lyrics as a nod to A6’s inspirations. 

“I couldn’t decide which song to release because I feel like both appeal to such different sides of the fan base,” explains Lights. “I had the idea to release both simultaneously and let the fans decide where they stand.”  

The diversity of the tracks speaks to the breadth of her album. Pre-save A6 HERE.

The dual release is set to please fans both old and new, while their dualities extend into the visuals for each song. Both directed and edited by Lights, the accompanying music videos are shot and edited to interact with one another when played next to each other at the same time. You just have to decide which volume to turn up.
