Stream: Bonnie & Clyde - LightHouse

Following up on their wonderful single Nebula, LA duo LightHouse are back taking inspiration from another duo with new single Bonnie & Clyde.

Depicting the titular criminal pair, the song actually draws from the recent Aaron Sorkin directorial debut, Molly’s Game, about the infamous poker game runner Molly Bloom. The song describes the feeling we get as the audience, drawn in by the success we see on the screen and left feeling compelled to keep watching her every move.

Combining a wild jazz funk section and soft vocal harmonies, LightHouse have once again created a track that feels experimental and unique yet is catchy and accessible.

Given our shared love of bank heist films, as a synth-pop duo, it was inevitable that we write ourselves into a song about partners in crime. On the surface, Bonnie & Clyde is yet another dynamic duo story, but like any good criminals, much of the mystery to the track is that we never know the exact details of their crime. A feminine edge, largely inspired by the film, “Molly’s Game” (2017), focuses on the quintessential “Bonnie” character in the chorus. As an audience, we are seduced by her successes - having no choice but to follow her “everywhere she goes.”

Stream: Nebula - LightHouse

Coming from cinematic synth-pop duo LightHouse, Nebula is a cosmic slice of electronic pop. Consisting of Katya Richardson and Logan Nelson, LA-based LightHouse started at to create modern cinematic music combining acoustic sounds and synth-based textures.

Nebula itself feels like it is floating in space - whispered vocals giving way to a psychedelic chorus that attempts to capture the wide open environment. With a vocal hook that swings on big melodies like planets’ orbits, there is something otherworldly about this song and I love it.

Nebula is LightHouse’s third single and it precedes their forthcoming EP, set to be released this autumn.

In Nebula, we wanted to address something relatable. At some point in our lives, we’ve all felt stuck - we’ve all been at a point where we weren’t the truest to ourselves or to our dreams. This song is about seeing past that and taking action. It’s about craving the unknown and the unreachable, and quite literally, shooting for the stars.
