GRACE LIGHTMAN HALLOWEEN IS OVER

Grace Lightman has revealed a new track in the shape of 'Halloween Is Over'. The chilling number, which channels the floating falsetto of Kate Bush, forms the second half of a limited edition 7" single coming 28 July via London taste-maker label Handsome Dad Records, whose alumni include The Big Moon, Spring King and, bill-toppers at our Alt. Escape showcase, Sweat. Following on from its predecessor, this new cut is written from the perspective of Lightman's vampiric alter ego, the Silver Eater, ensuring there is as much haunting subtext as there is immediacy in its stunning delivery built around a wholly arresting vocal performance. Halloween may be over, but this is very much the beginning for the uber-talented Grace Lightman. -G.O'B
