As building a time machine is yet to seem impossible, with the power of sound, Davy Knobel and Eszter Anna Baumann were aiming to do it in their own way. During quarantine, they surrounded themselves with their favorite vinyls and concert tapes in their apartment, which resulted in writing their own tracks, inspired by their great musical heroes. Light By The Sea's full-length album entitled Only Death Makes Icons (2021) was released shortly afterwards. Since it is not often that a Dutch guitarist and composer makes music with a Hungarian artist, therefore in their music a really beautiful combination of the West and the East meet, as their sound consists of art rock, avant-garde and folk music elements, and their lyrics are inspired by the ascension and fall of great heroes and sorrowful tragedies.
Light By The Sea has released several music videos and visuals which already got the attention of the international media and promoters. Since playing their first shows as the support of Vive La Fête, they are continuously on the road, introducing their magical set to the listeners. The 2023 European tour has just kicked off, including gigs in The Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, France and more…
