Save Your Heart
Save Your Heart, the 11 track sophomore full-length from cinematic post-rock powerhouse LIGHTS & MOTION, follows what critics have called "the greatest debut album in post-rock history", "perfect" and "album of the year 2013." Released in January, the bands debut Reanimation (deepelmdigital.com/album/reanimation) has received an avalanche of acclaim from both media and fans worldwide. Save Your Heart will be released worldwide on November 12, 2013 (11-12-13). "Reanimation is undoubtedly one of the best post-rock records ever to be released and you can expect the very same of Save Your Heart. Its hard to believe that every LIGHTS & MOTION song is created and composed in real-time during late night sessions by pure accident, improvisation and inspiration...by one individual. To have such an incredible album represent our 200th release is truly the icing on the cake to our 18 year history as a purely independent label" says Deep Elm Records founder John Szuch. In a recent social media post, Szuch penned the following: "Running down my cheeks are tears of joy, respect and admiration at the utter beauty and sheer brilliance of Save Your Heart. Im listening to the final masters Chris delivered to us today on my AKG K-240s...and what I am hearing is the most moving record I have ever heard in my entire life. Thats what we specialize in here at Deep Elm: songs with the ability to move you, to inspire you, to excite and console you...songs that make you remember. Its our purpose and the reason why we have carried on against all odds for the last eighteen years. Its the reason why Im alive. I humbly hope our music makes your soul breathe a bit easier as it does mine. After releasing 200+ albums, I can confidently say: Mission Fucking Accomplished! Kudos to Mr. Franzen for an album so passionately composed and well executed. Youre making history, Christoffer."
