Lightouts – “Stray Boy”

on June 7, 2012

Stray Boy

It should be pretty easy to pick out Lightouts‘ two main influences, The Cure and Guided By Voices, on its new track “Stray Boy.” Gavin Rhodes and Greg Nelson, the Gowanus-based duo, are clearly obsessed with music from the early ‘90s and maybe even more so The Cure’s Robert Smith. Rhodes actually began and ended his search for the perfect bandmate by posting a want ad asking, “Robert Smith/Emily Haines, where are you?” Nelson answered, and the rest is history.
