 “I would take beautiful strings and then wrangle them through reverbs/delays and saturation to get it to sound like something else entirely. The album will also feature previously unused elements like vintage synthesiser sounds and electronics.”

Produced and Mixed by Lights & Motion. Mastered at Elysian Masters in Los Angeles.

Save Your Heart

Save Your Heart

The second full-length album from Lights & Motion is called Save Your Heart, and was released on November 12th, 2013, through the american independent Deep Elm Records. It was released later during the same year as the debutalbum Reanimation first came out, explained by the fact that the bands sole member, Christoffer Franzén, “Simply couldn’t stop writing”. 

The artwork for Save Your Heart was designed by graphic designer Elias Klingén. The image, which is visualized through a combination of colours and abstract lines, is a graphical representation of a heart, being connected by two different colors of red and blue, conceptualizing the album.

Christoffer can be heard in several interviews talking about how he can “hear sounds as colors”, and he has stated about the new album;

“I wanted Save Your Heart to have more of a blueish or violet color in terms of sonic identity. In comparison, Reanimation had more of a yellowish tone’

Apple choose to feature the song “We Are Ghosts” in their 2015 iTunes/Academy Awards spot. The same song was used in the trailer for the movie Transcendence, starring Johnny Depp. The albums opening song, “Heartbeats”, was used in the trailer for the Will Smith movie Concussion. A more complete list of TV and Film features can be viewed here

Reanimation

Reanimation

The debut full-length album from Lights & Motion is called Reanimation, and was released on January 16th, 2013, through Deep Elm Records. It was written and recorded during a two year period prior to its release, when Christoffer battled insomnia, and as a direct result of that spent his nights creating music by himself instead of sleeping.

The artwork for Reanimation was shot and edited by Christoffer Franzén himself, and features blurry lights of different colours spread across a dark blue background.

Since its release, songs from Lights & Motion´s debutalbum have been used in a variety of high-profile contexts; Google featured the song “The March” in their “Film In Review” commercial at the 2013 Academy Awards, seen by several hundred millions worldwide. During the 2015 Super Bowl you could hear “Faded Fluorescence” in the opening of The Fast And The Furious 7  trailer. Additional trailer placements featuring songs from Reanimation consists of Lone Survivor, Collateral Beauty, No Escape and Homefront. The TV-Show Containment used the Lights & Motion song “Home” during its final scene of the series.
