Milky Clear Vinyl. Seventeen years after Illuminate first cast it's glow across the emo indie underground, Lydia have re entered the studio to give their landmark album a shimmering, synth laced makeover. Electronic touches warm frontman Leighton Antelman's trademark lyricism, threading dreamy yet rhythmic textures through songs that once leaned on reverb drenched guitars, while returning vocalist Mindy White rekindles the co ed spark fans remember.
