Light Breaks Through will be released on March 26.
Following on the heels of last summer's album Long Day in the Milky Way, Kris Delmhorst will release Light Breaks Through on March 26 - a postscript EP of three additional songs from the same session. The EP will be available exclusively through Bandcamp with a portion of proceeds going to the Food Bank of Massachusetts and today, Delmhorst shares the title track to accompany the release announcement.
"Light Breaks Through" was written from the perspective of witnessing someone wrestling with depression, but translates well to the current mood as a general expression of optimism and relief. A straight-up, unabashed jam, made for a stretch of open road with the windows rolled down. "This one was pure recreation," Delmhorst says. "No overthinking, no discussion, just play it how it feels good."

Long Day in the Milky Way, released at the peak of 2020's chaos and uncertainty, was a meditation on holding onto hope amidst dark times. Half a year later, Light Breaks Through dares to wear its optimism more overtly and begins to inhabit the brightening that the album had held on faith.
