Spotlights are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of their debut album, TIDALS, with a remastered vinyl and digital release. The release that started it all for the band, and previously has only been available via Spotlights shows and webstore, we're now brining it to retail in a limited edition color variant. This was the release that grabbed the attention of Deftones, who brought the band on tour before they were ever signed to a label. That tour brought on the attention of Aaron Harris (Isis, Palms), who introduced the band to Ipecac, which has been their home for almost a decade now.
TIDALS is available on limited-edition Deep Space Splatter vinyl, with only 500 copies made for retail. The band is currently working on new music for 2027, so lots of action happening in the coming years! Spotlights is Mario Quintero (guitar, vocals, keys), Sarah Quintero (bass, vocals), and Chris Enriquez (drums). The band has released four albums: Alchemy for the Dead (2023), Love & Decay (2019), Seismic (2018), and Tidals (2016).
Widely praised for their mastery of heaviness and nuance. Brooklyn Vegan said Spotlights "balances the pretty with metallic sludge," Revolver basked in their "fuzz-soaked doominess," Kerrang! declared their music as "heavy and romantic," and Blabbermouth succinctly shared: "Spotlights is a perfect example of beautiful, melodic heavy music that isn't afraid to break the mold.
