(Napa, CA) April 22, 2022 – The 4 piece cinematic pop and bedroom pop band, Skylight Motion Picture have a love for movies an their soundtracks. The band was put together in 2016, co-founded by Ezekiel Hampton, who fronts the band and writes their music, and a few of his musical friends who worked in the same industry has him. Since then, members have come and gone, but their music has stayed the same impassioned sound they are so good at writing.
Skylight Motion Picture aims to make music that moves people while making people move. Since the launch of their self-titled debut EP in 2017, they’ve continued to explore various musical genres and nostalgic influences to make each collection of songs feel different than previous releases. Their debut LP, “The Sonic Relocation and Transformational Reverberation of the Spirit,” contained over three years of material and was released in 2020.
“Music From the Film” is an homage to much of the ‘bedroom pop’ music that shaped chief songwriter, Ezekiel James Hampton, in early adulthood. Despite this being a mostly electronically-produced album, listeners can expect more orchestral instruments such as piano, glockenspiels, woodwinds, and strings. The formula of building on infectious hooks with rich harmonies has not changed. All lyrics to the album revolve around two themes: moving forward after being emotionally unprepared for a broken heart and spiritual evolution born out of the ashes of religious culture.
Skylight Motion Picture states, “All lyrics to the album revolve around two themes: moving forward after being emotionally unprepared for a broken heart and spiritual evolution born out of the ashes of religious culture.” Highly influenced by artists such as The Postal Service, Copeland, and The 1975, this beautifully put together album has passionate vocals and well written lyrics that challenge any other pop song.
