about

Out in the exurban Orange County wilderness of housing developments and strip malls it slowly disappears. You follow the path of highway exit off-ramps onto four lane suburban streets stretching all the way out to the desert and down to the cliffs on the beach. The lights of L.A. are far off. The city is gone.

11 outtakes, alternate versions, and extra songs from the Lewis the Light album "The Search for Degenerate Utopia"

Lean out the side of your car at a stoplight and see radio towers disguised as palm trees next to palm trees. Cover your eyes for the dream is gone.

about

Lewis the Light San Francisco, California

"Satisfied with his care and the width of his belly, Lewis escaped and returned to San Francisco, where he was arrested after ripping open his clothing and asking passersbys to witness the divine light that burned in his breast."
