Light in the Attic: Drinking Songs for the Sober Hearted
07.18.24
Since humble beginnings in a basement apartment circa Y2k Seattle, Light in the Attic has established itself worldwide over the last two decades as a standout, multi-Grammy-nominated reissue label. Light in the Attic takes pride in cultivating direct relationships with the artists/estates whom they reissue to ensure proper credit, and compensation, is always given. With releases ranging from D’Angelo to Serge Gainsbourg, Lou Reed to Betty Davis, Sly Stone to Karen Dalton, Donnie & Joe to Nancy & Lee, Light in the Attic works tirelessly to bring the rarest cuts to the masses.
Greetings from the Devil’s Front Porch, otherwise known as summer in the South and home to Light in the Attic’s Label Coordinator, Lydia Hyslop. When she’s not proofreading liner notes, Lydia can be found playing Wordle, admiring her plants and chickens, and mommin’ out. She aspires to learn the art of doing nothing and hopes to, one day, become a ghost. This playlist is dedicated to all the heavy drinkers, sober abstainers, existential dreaders, daydreamers, stoners, loners, lovers, healers, heartbreakers, the heartbroken, and my fellow HSPs.
