V.V. Lightbody
Chicago based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist V.V. Lightbody returns with Period Piece, out on October 9th, 2026 with Egghunt Records. A sought-after collaborator in Chicago’s indie music scene for over a decade, Lightbody’s third LP is a marvelous showcase of her singular production and arrangement skills, ear-catching melodies, and signature frank lyricism. Period Piece presents a deeply relatable audit of Lightbody’s own anxieties, imperfections, and charming peculiarities as she falls in love, ages, dabbles in divination, and re-evaluates her place in the world. Here, we find Lightbody confronting her own defensiveness and dissatisfaction, while simultaneously attempting to loosen, notice beauty and pleasure, and relinquish herself from what she learns she cannot control. This is who I am. This is who I love. This is what is possible.
Notably, Period Piece also marks Lightbody’s debut as a lead producer on her own album – a dazzling and welcome emergence. With layers of perfectly tucked backing vocals, swirling guitars in harmony, chugging bass lines, and romantic, melodic flutes, Lightbody has crafted a playful and pristinely recorded collection of indie-folk songs, veering between 70s Brazilian samba and contemporary electro-pop. Think, Cate Le Bon strolling through an overgrown meadow. Dave Vettraino provided additional production and mixing support, and Lightbody called in a robust team of friends to contribute throughout, including Macie Stewart, Sam Cantor, Emma Hospelhorn, Jack Henry Lickerman, and Cassandra Jenkins.
Following the release of 2020’s critically acclaimed Make A Shrine Or Burn It (Acrophase Records), Lightbody spent much of the next 4 years touring and collaborating with friends such as Finom, producing records as “Album Doula”, and recording an LP with Valebol, her synth-pop duo started with Daniel Villarreal-Carrillo. It was also an important period for personal reflection, and thus Period Piece began to take shape.
Núria Graham
The half-Irish half-Catalan composer Núria Graham published her debut album “First Tracks” in 2015 with only 16 years. In just over two years, she released “Bird Eyes” + “In The Cave” (EP) and almost next her second feature “Does It Ring a Bell?” (2017), an album that positioned her on the national scene as an essential artist to understand homemade folk-pop.
Where Graham’s third album, 2020’s “Marjorie”, was her most obviously pop, embracing keyboards and the subtle tick of drum machines, her fourth Album “Cyclamen” is a tender, jazzy work that invites the listener in with resonant piano chords, serene acoustic guitars, elegant, yet understated, string flourishes and wandering double bass lines, not to mention flushes of bassoon, harp, flute and saxophone. Each instrument is like a character in the dream-like world of “Cyclamen”, individual, yet part of the greater whole, with Graham’s exquisitely characterful voice as our guide.
