Wan Light 微光樂團，以八十年代格拉斯哥New Wave名團Orange Juice 同名作品所命名，2002年成軍之斯德哥爾摩雙人樂團獲清新名廠Labrador網羅後，交由瑞典知名製作人Björn Öqvist操刀的首張專輯。以孤寂的鋼琴琴音與簡約的民謠吉他掃撥為主軸，梅花竹間點綴的電子聲效與迷幻吉他音牆，巧妙地強化了作品的復古與傷感情緒，被形容為Mercury Rev、Neil Young、Flaming Lips乃至Pet Shop Boys的綜合體。
Wan Light from Stockholm is K. Svensson and M. Karnock. The band is named after an old Orange Juice song, but that's all they have in common with Edwyn Collin's old band. Wan Light's music are based on traditional singer/songwriter songs, often electronically produced, but sometimes they choose a more minimalistic production with just a lonely piano.
The lyrics are multifaceted and easy in the contours, still very vivid. Listening to the music of Wan Light evokes a great deal of pictures. Their music can be described as beautiful and experimental pop with a big distance to rock and harshness.
The two members of Wan Light have been playing together for a long time, as drummer and bass player respectively. When they by coincidence changed their direction as musicians in the year 2002 they found something that resulted in a close collaboration with producer Björn Öqvist.
The album »Let's wake up somewhere else« offers a 40 minutes long journey with wide range of experiences on the way. It contains the two singles »Get it Straighter« and »Landmarks and Houses«.
Let us all wake up somewhere else... preferably in Wan Light's land.
