I can see a million lights
Faint Halos
Faint Halos shine brightly with their latest offering, "I can see a million lights".
This album is a masterclass in reflection and invites the listener to step back and really appreciate life’s intricate moments. In this album Paul Hashemi brings a tight fusion of folk and rock elements to create a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.
The standout track, “Something To Lose,” beautifully re-imagines a prior work with stripped-back acoustic layers and haunting harmonies from Hashemi’s daughter, Cate.
Meanwhile, “Skyline Hill” transports us to the heart of Philadelphia, blending ethereal guitar work with lyrics that evoke a sense of belonging.
Tracks like “Disaster” inject more dynamic energy, showing Hashemi’s ability to balance softness with intensity. The politically charged “Last Scenes of the Resistance” brings much more depth and reminds us of the personal stories behind global struggles.
Closing with the reflective song “Wasted on Youth,” the album captures the bittersweet essence of growing up, intertwining regret and hope in a way that resonates universally.
This is an album that rewards a closer look, and urges us to reflect on our own lives while also just basking in its sound.
"I can see a million lights" has achieved more than 100,000 streams on Spotify since its release, from the singles collectively.
