Illiterate Light @ The Alibi, Telluride, CO - August 13th

Illiterate Light is a versatile, Virginia-based duo with a vagabond spirit and a resolute D.I.Y. work ethic. Emergingin the late 2010s, the group draws from a wide array of styles, from raw, guitar-driven indie rock and kaleidoscopicneo-psychedelia to synth-kissed, harmony-laden folk. They issued their self-titled debut in 2019, followed bySunburned in 2023.The project originated in the Shenandoah Valley in 2010, when multi-instrumentalists Jeff Gorman and JakeCochran began playing music together while working on an organic farm. They eventually took over the farmthemselves, where they combined their love of art and agriculture into a rich community, touring by bicycle andbuilding a loyal local following. In 2015, the duo decided to leave their farmand focus exclusively on music,adopting the moniker Illiterate Light, with Gorman on guitar and foot-pedal synth bass and Cochran operating aminimalist standup drum kit. In 2019, they inked a deal with Atlantic Records and headed into the studio withVance Powell (Jack White, Kings of Leon, Chris Stapleton) and Adrian Olsen (Foxygen, Natalie Prass) to beginlaying down tracks for their eponymous full-length debut, which was released in September 2019. Two yearslater, the duo signed with Thirty Tigers andissued the singles "Light Me Up" and "Heaven Bends." Both cutsappeared on their sophomore long-player, Sunburned. In addition to their critically acclaimed LPs, the band hasadditionally released multiple EPs, live albums, and collaborations.
