Claude says:Athlete came out of Deptford in the late '90s mixing indie rock with electronic touches, friends since fourteen with a thing for Grandaddy and the Flaming Lips. Half Light is their second record — warm, layered, split between anthemic guitar moments and softer keyboard-driven stretches that feel like late afternoon light through a window. You found it seven years after release in mid-2012 and burned through it that month, especially "Forest Fire" and the title track, then came back for scattered visits in 2019 and once or twice since.
