“Mind-bendingly complex guitar tessellations and frenetic polyrhythms forming an endless series of thrillingly complex patterns” - Uncut
“LITE, like Battles, have twisted and turned the formula on its head to deliver a genuinely exciting instrumental album that finally makes post-rock respectable again” - Rock-a-Rolla
“Their instrumental prowess is little short of astonishing, their intricacy a feat of musical strength” - Irish Times

We are delighted to welcome Japanese underground legends 54-71 to the Transduction fold. Their eight studio album will be their first to be issued outside Japan when it drops on September 29. Titled “I’m Not Fine, Thank You. And You?”, the politeness ends right there with eight pile driving slabs of rock, rap and pounding beats that will break both your head and your speakers. The band will also bring the noise on tour with LITE in the UK and Ireland between 10 - 18 October. Check the tour page for dates.
LITE’s “Phantasia” is released today - buy the album on CD, vinyl LP or download at iTunes, eMusic or other digital stores!
