An Army Of lights

An Army Of Lights are primarily an British indie-rock band, with noticeable influences in folk and acoustic musicians. On first listen, they reminded me of artists such as The Maccabees and Bombay Bicycle Club, and NME have described them as "The Futureheads fronted by Turin Brakes or Mystery Jets". Such bands have developed large fan bases, aimed at those in the teens and early twenties. Both are frequently featured in magazines such as NME and Q, as well as played on radio stations as Radio 1, which are all associated to some degree with young and mainstream alternative fan bases. With this in mind, I will take influence from bands such as these, as well as other folk and rock acts such as Arcade Fire and Noah and the Whale, who also have rather similar music styles and have achieved much mainstream success in recent years.
