Light Upon The Lake marks the culmination of a short, but incredibly intense, creative period for the band. To say that Whitney is more than the sum of it's parts would be a criminal understatement.
This album exists as a duality, running the spectrum of human emotions from playful optimism and visceral affirmations of life to heartbreak, loss, fear, and loneliness.
The album's mournful and nostalgic lyrics, meanwhile, make for a sharp contrast with the warm, positively buoyant nature of Johnson's song structures and rich production.
