If you’ve listened to Illiterate Light, you know it can be hard to pin down the band’s sound. The task hasn’t gotten any easier with new album Arches, the third LP from singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman and drummer Jake Cochran. Moving between easy indie rock, kaleidoscopic neo-psychedelia, and electro-embellished Americana, the duo weaves together a sonic world full of enigmatic energy. Celebrate the official release of the new album as Illiterate Light returns to the region that gave birth to its singular Shenandoah Valley sound.
