Sweet Light

Our new single Sweet Light is out now!

“Sweet Light” is the latest single by London’s cosmic cowboys The Hanging Stars, taken from their brand new album “On A Golden Shore”, out on 8th March 2024 via Loose Music. Recorded at Edwyn Collins’ Clashnarrow Studio, it’s a glorious onslaught of blissed-out electric guitars and wide-screen pedal steel. Sitting somewhere between a countrified Lou Reed and more contemporary acts like Kurt Vile and Allah-Las, this Ralla/Olson composition is a yearning anthem to a love once lost.

The accompanying video is part-inspired by the British kitchen sink dramas of the 60s: picture a smoky nightclub situation, cigarettes tracing ladders, a band blowing Dixie, double four time…you get the drift - only filmed on a cold December morning at the bands’ HQ The Betsey Trotwood pub in Clerkenwell, London.
