FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bright Shining Light Announces New Instrumental Record SM-01
Nine movements. Thirty-two minutes. No words necessary.
[Pequannock, NJ, May 20, 2026] — Bright Shining Light are stepping beyond the song and into something wider. Following the release of their 2025 record The Sun Is A Star, the band announces SM-01 — a nine-track, 32-minute instrumental journey arriving in the coming weeks on all the major streaming platforms.
SM-01 exists in the space between. Electronic pulses drift alongside orchestral swells. Drone textures hold steady beneath cascading piano melodies. It is a record without narrative — or rather, a record with as many narratives as it has listeners.
“After The Sun Is A Star,” the band explains, “the seed was planted to deliver musical journeys without the filter of lyrics — leaving the story up to the listener. Film is such a massive influence for us. It runs in our heads all day long. We just were able to record this instead of just dreaming it.”
SM-01 is the first in a planned series of instrumental records, a quiet declaration that some of the most profound things a band can say require no words at all.
SM-01 will be available on all major platforms. Stream and pre-save at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/brightshininglights/sm-01.
