Palace Walls is the second release from Grand Rapids band, Lights At Sea. With nothing more than guitar, bass, and drums, Lights At Sea crafts moods with its heavy instrumental rock. Often, the songs start out slow, then crescendo into weighty guitar and drums, retaining the melodic quality throughout. With the second album, Lights At Sea hasn't delved far from the territory that the first album explored and I'm fine with that. I want to go where Lights At Sea wants to take me. Rebecca Ruth
