Impressing with multiple past tracks like “Wander” and “Oceans,” Brooklyn-based band TARA continue their memorable dream-pop sound with their latest, “Light Again.” As one of their final two singles, “Light Again” reminds of the project’s impressive knack for melodic hooks within a glistening, dreamy aesthetic. Lush vocals and a swirling backing key arpeggio assemble around a hypnotic rhythm section, rising alongside jangly guitars during the beautiful hook. The final minute rewards with a convergence of the aforementioned layers, before settling into a dreamy haze.
The band writes: “The song is about the complex dynamics of a relationship and how breaking up and then reuniting again can take such a toll on us but, perhaps it’s worth it?”
