  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Enjoy the full-length album, mastered for vinyl, on two deluxe 180-gram LPs. Full color gatefold jacket with insert.

    Main Street Lights, Vicious Petals’ first release, was recorded on two-inch tape at Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, WA. In this span of songs, Smith brings his powerful and earnest voice forward with an equally deep range in his guitar. Both are wonderfully complemented, anchored, and (at times) put on a leash by Okano’s heartbreaking, virtuosic, and frequently fierce piano.

    The record is an ambitious full-length album recorded with producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile) and engineer Jerry Streeter (Secret Sisters, Brandi Carlile). The arrangements are broad in their instrumentation, reflecting the duo’s ease working across genre and style. Painting with a broad palette of tone and arrangement, Okano and Smith give each of their compositions the perfect framework for eloquent expression.

lyrics

I can’t change how you think of me
My sad, old songs
My treachery
Time has taken the best of things
And given the world
Such worthy wings

Tines of silk
And revelry
Make my mind
So feelingly
You could hold my bitter stone of blood
Show me love and call it something

Now, we don’t have to lie
We don’t have to curse
We just hold our verse of love
We don’t have to lie
We don’t even fret
We just hold our fear
And ride it

I can see the sun
Slowly carrying on
Glowing bright and paramour
Traipsing through the sky
Slowly passing by
Like some glowing ball of hope and

Now, we don’t have to lie
We don’t have to curse
We just hold our verse of love
We don’t have to lie
We don’t even fret
We just hold our fear
And ride it

You might say what you mean to me
Your vagabond heart it playfully
Picks apart my stars and starts
To race along your lust of larks and…

Now, we don’t have to lie
We don’t have to curse
We just hold our verse of love
We don’t have to lie
We don’t even fret
We just hold our fear
And ride it

Paint a picture and pace the night
Feel delight in all your flights
‘Member me with my soul on fire
I’ll set a light for you every once in a while

Now, we don’t have to lie
We don’t have to curse
We just hold our verse of love
We don’t have to lie
We don’t even fret
We just hold our fear
And ride it now
