The Lighthouse are 5 Belgian guys who share the love of melodically well-written pop songs. They describe their musical cocktail of polyphonic vocals, guitars, keys and swinging drums as ‘songs that feel like Fridays’.

So far, the band put out two EPs: the self-released Let’s Make A Scene, and Joyride, which was backed by Sony Music. Despite the latter EP’s success, and the doors it opened to stages, festivals and radio stations in Belgium and abroad, The Lighthouse decided to go back to the indie-route for upcoming releases. Their debut album is already planned for the autumn of 2019.

This week marks the release of the long player’s first single. Catch Fire finds two people waking up after a wild night re-connecting with each other, asking the question if their relationship will ever really ‘catch fire’. A well-crafted sophisticated pop song that will surely delight the fans of bands like The 1975.
