1982 (Album) by The Fiery Lights
1982 is the debut album from The Fiery Lights.
It's an album of stories that takes in, amongst other things: the tale of the doomed lovers who meet at a wedding and embark on a spur of the moment holiday together the same day; the chimpanzee left for dead by his tribe, pulling himself up to hunt down those responsible; the lunacy of social media; a presidential exit speech ahead of its time; making the same mistakes over and over again; being scared of fire... and many more moments, feelings and stories that have stuck in our minds.
We hope you enjoy it.

The Fiery Lights write songs that tell stories.
Some are long, winding and strange. Some are full of hope. Others are steeped in chaos and disaster. All laid bare over music that takes in the alt-rock energy of The Pixies, Okkervil River and REM, the melodic folk-rock songwriting of Counting Crows, Josh Ritter and The Decemberists and the words and imagery of Phoebe Bridgers and Bright Eyes.
