Slow Burning Lights is a collaborative studio album by American hip hop production duo Blue Sky Black Death and singer Yes Alexander. It was released by Babygrande Records in 2008. [1]
Andrew Martin of PopMatters gave the album 8 stars out of 10, describing it as "a combination of dreamy textures over sometimes erratic, glitchy drums with that traditional BSBD quality that is almost impossible to categorize." [1] Josh Modell of Spin said: "It's never as punchily trip-hoppy as Sneaker Pimps or as blatantly out-there as Joanna Newsom, but the fittingly named Slow Burning Lights sits on the same off-kilter pop continuum."
