Canada Import version of Little Machines, the 2014 release from Canadian singer Lights. When Lights first hit the music scene in 2008, she was just a songwriter with a synthesizer and a dream.. Her name may have been pluralized but Lights Poxleitner was a one-woman show who played and programmed her own instruments and sang her own lyrics. This admirable self-reliance is rare in pop - in fact, Lights, signed a publishing deal at 16 and began writing songs for other artists - but after her 2008 self-titled debut EP (precocious enough to earn her a best new artist Juno) and gold-selling full-length follow-up THE LISTENING, Lights was ready to open herself up to collaborations on her unexpectedly experimental album SIBERIA. And by choosing such leftfield collaborators as live electronic outfit Holy F*** and rising rapper Shad, she also opened up her sound.
