Santogold Tour & 'Lights Out' Video

• 15th Aug 2008

Fresh from the success and critical praise that trailed her beautifully fresh self titled album – Santogold looks set to capture our hearts and minds again with the superbly brilliant follow up single 'Lights Out'.

From an album as defiantly uncategorisable as the lady in question – 'Lights Out' is a stand out anthem in waiting, perfectly suited for the festivals crowds that await our starlet this summer. With a heavy bass line that nods to the Pixies under a pure fire pop chorus the track is as irresistible as gravity. Santi's delicate vocals float over the gorgeous lo-fi guitar strumming and smattering drum kicks.

Armed with DJ and dancers (who channel a mesmerizing Grace Jones look on stage) Santogold gets ready to play the UK festivals this year and has just announced her KOKO headline date in London this September. Anyone who managed to catch the sold out UK tour in May will testify Santogold is closer to platinum than the gold hoops she bares her nickname from.
