About this project
Light in August is proud to announce its second release: Sweater Weather. The album consists of nine originals that range from folky pop songs to sitar/tabla/flute instrumentals. We’ve been working with Jim Roll at Backseat Studios, and now that we’ve finished most of the recording, we’re raising money for the mixing and mastering process. This is where you can help us! Our goal is to raise $1000 in 4 weeks and a donation of just $15 will get you a mailed copy of the album when it is finished. Think of this as a pre-order, where your buying the record actually makes the record. Click the link above for a video with some samples of songs that will be on the album. Thanks to everyone for your love and support!

Light in August was founded in 2007 and consists of five musicians: each uniquely contributing to the group’s folk-tinged pop/rock sound. Alex's vocals are influenced by the likes of Chan Marshall and Cat Stevens and his guitar playing is informed by his classical guitar training. Anne Dearth and Rachel Woolf, both educated at the U of M School of Music, are on woodwinds and vocals. Jack Henry and Max Stewart are on bass and drums respectively.
In the past 2 years, Light in August has been played on radio stations such as 88.3 and 107.1 and has been covered in The Real Detroit, The Current, The Metro Times and The Detroit Free Press. The band released their debut album entitled 'Places' in August of 2009 and is working with Jim Roll on their sophomore release due in the fall of 2010.
