On a cool summer or fall night, somewhere in the world, there is a small candle being placed into a paper lantern, a match is struck and lights the candle. Almost magically, the power of such a small flame lifts the comparatively massive lantern up into the sky. That feeling the atmosphere around it has always been indescribable to me. You are probably wondering what the world lanterns have to do with music, right? For Atlanta based band Paper Lights, that sublime awe is what inspired their name and is also what has been captured in their soon to be released album Caverns.

Atmospherically electrifying from start to finish, Paper Lights has crafted a sound that’s synonymous with the power of nature. I had the honor of speaking to Dan Snyder, Melanie Annabelle, and Jonathan Kimsey about their new album and the story behind it, check out the interview below.

The new album Caverns comes out November 19 on iTunes and Paperlightsmusic.com. The single “The Cave” is now streaming on SoundCloud, and you can take listen to it below.
