WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
PRESS
“Brooklyn trio Spotlights has steadily developed their “atmospheric bludgeoning” from the 2009 single they spontaneously recorded. Married couple Sarah and Mario Quintero mix thick riffage with lofty synths and shoegazey ambience, while Chris Enriquez’s dynamic drumming empowers and directs the immersive walls of sound. This third album looks to enhance the band’s most compelling aspects. Love & Decay sports Spotlights’ most catchy, emotive and heavy material to date.”
