Light Screamer

Light Screamer are well-known for their intense and chaotic live shows, something that led them to SXSW in 2013 and 2014, and a record deal with Austin label Australian Cattle God Records for their debut album, Gauss. In 2018, they released their follow-up, Switch, on the legendary Örebro label Zorch Productions. Two years later, in the midst of a world-wide pandemic, their suitably named third album, Reap, was released. The award-winning Austin artist, Win Wallace, has created the covers for all three albums as graphical interpretations of the music.
