Illiterate Light is an emerging indie rock duo with a soulful, passionate sound that is simultaneously rebellious and immersive. Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran, the band members, are established musicians from Harrisonburg, Virginia. They deftly blend vocally driven, philosophical songwriting with fervent rock-n-roll and tender Americana.
The band draws influences from a diverse range of artists such as My Morning Jacket, Led Zeppelin, Fleet Foxes, and Radiohead, resulting in a genre-blending sound. Their enthusiastic guitar riffs, driving drum beats, and soaring vocal harmonies showcase an intense musicality that never undercuts the feeling or sincerity of their lyrics.
Illiterate Light’s music can be considered as introspective and thoughtful, but also irresistibly catchy and energetic. It’s a balance that is beautifully depicted in their songs and live performances. While their influences have roots in classic rock and indie folk, their sound transcends these genres to create something that is wholly their own.
If you’re new to Illiterate Light, try listening to their songs like “Better Than I Used To,” “Carolina Lorelei,” and “Sometimes Love Takes So Long”. These tracks encapsulate their distinct blend of gritty electric guitar, evocative lyrics, and anthemic hooks.
Their live performances are similarly powerful, combining raw energy with a sort of spiritual intensity that is deeply engaging. Whether playing in a crowded stadium or a more intimate setting, Illiterate Light pours their hearts into every performance. If you’re looking for an authentic, passionate, and captivating musical experience, this concert is one you won’t want to miss.
