Backstory:
Lustrous Recession was born in the heart of Seattle’s underground scene back in 2005, springing from the fertile minds of childhood friends, Colin Hyde and David Wells. Their shared love for retro-futuristic aesthetics and music brought them together, with Colin handling vocals and bass and David shredding guitar riffs. A chance encounter with percussionist Rachel Keys at a local farmer’s market brought the missing piece they needed, finalizing the ensemble that would become Lustrous Recession. The band quickly became known for their flamboyant stage presence and their deep, evocative lyrics that echo the dichotomy of modern society – glistening yet declining, hence the name Lustrous Recession.

Title:
“Neon Nights Unravelled”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C#m E B A
Riding high on neon lights, lost in the fractured nights
Silhouettes of yesterday, fading in the city bay
C#m E B A
Broken dreams on silver streams, lustrous like the moonlight beams
In the irony we drown, as the stars begin to frown
(Chorus)
G#m E B A
Neon nights unravelled, where hopes and fears have travelled
In the heart of the city’s jest, where our dreams are put to test
G#m E B A
In the lustrous recession, we find our true confession
In the midst of the city’s plight, under the neon lights
(Verse 2)
C#m E B A
Runaway hearts in empty streets, the rhythm of the city beats
Caught in the play of light and shadow, where the echoes of the past follow
C#m E B A
Dancing through the city maze, lost in the urban haze
In the irony we thread, as the sun begins to dread
(Chorus)
G#m E B A
Neon nights unravelled, where hopes and fears have travelled
In the heart of the city’s jest, where our dreams are put to test
G#m E B A
In the lustrous recession, we find our true confession
In the midst of the city’s plight, under the neon lights
Fan Testimonial:
My name is Jane McAlister and Lustrous Recession is my favorite band. Their music acts as a soundtrack to my life – an echo of my own thoughts, fears, and dreams, blowing me away with their anthems of reality and resonance. The way their electronica-infused alternative rock blends with profound lyrics is something I haven’t found in any other band. Their song “Neon Nights Unravelled” is a stark reminder of the duality of the world we live in, of the beauty and the decay, and I find it absolutely captivating. I believe their music has a unique way of reaching into the hearts and minds of listeners, challenging us to see the world differently.
