Strobelight hail from Mexico but live in LA, they jumped out from the page on first listen thanks to the striking beauty of the first song I listened to, a couple of weeks ago now, "Safe (Piano Killer)" is quite wonderful, strong piano with a progressive beat and some amazing harmonies that just ooze majesty. The stand-out for me has to be the rich and soulful vocal which is quite stunning.

"Lies" is upbeat with a strong drum base, chugging stomping guitar lines and (again) a truly striking vocal. Strobelight excel in reinventing themselves with many different genres evident in their songs, alternative, folk, rock, electro etc, it is all very refreshing anyway.

The dreamy "One More Time" is an ambient down-tempo song that is (in fear of repeating myself here) beautiful, I'm not sure if it's a different vocalist (sounds like it to me?). The track has a vinyl scratching sound throughout and the spacey atmosphere created suits it to perfection.

Their first album 'The Morning After' is due in March, certainly worth further investigation. You can currently listen to sixteen songs on the groups soundcloud page, so off you go.
Here is the official video for "Safe (Piano Killer)" in all its cinematic glory:
