First Album Review: "Lights & Motion's fifth full-length album, The Great Wide Open, is truly that; it is expansive, vibrant, deep, dark, epic, and wondrous. One would think that after five albums, two EPs, and a smattering of singles, any band would have had some kind of misstep or falter in some way, but that is absolutely not the case here. The brain child of Swedish composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Christoffer Franzen, Lights & Motion have once again created a stunningly beautiful musical masterpiece that will grip at your heart, take your spirit soaring through the clouds and into the stars, and fill your soul with pounding epic crescendos leaving you exhausted, elevated, and fulfilled. With each new release, Light & Motion continues to impress and somehow improve upon something that was already damn-near flawless. If you have never heard Light & Motion or are unfamiliar with cinematic post rock, please do yourself a favor and not only give this record a go but do a deep dive into this band's catalog. You will thank me later." - Oklahoma Lefty
