Although the members of New Hampshire indie rock outfit Wild Light first got together in high school, it wasn't until after college that the three were able to devote full and undivided attention to the project, which got going again in 2005. Members Tim Kyle, Seth Pitman, Jordan Alexander, and Seth Kasper began working on music in the basement of a shared house before taking their sound to the people. The buzz built up by the band soon led to a high-profile opening spot for LCD Soundsystem and the highly popular Arcade Fire. Surely helped by the fact that Wild Light's Tim Kyle once featured in the Arcade lineup, Wild Light's successful performance helped land them an opportunity to open for Arcade Fire on their subsequent European tour. In late 2007, Wild Light released their first EP, a self-titled affair. In 2008 the band would continue its run of well-received live shows, not to mention a trip to Los Angeles to begin work on what was to be its debut full-length. Adult Nights, which was produced by Rob Schnapf, arrived in spring 2009.

Biography
Wild Light began almost fifteen years ago when Tim and Jordan began making music together in elementary school. In high school, they joined with Seth Pitman and Seth Kasper to form a band. Jordan attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, where he shared a room with Win Butler - future lead singer of Arcade Fire. Tim met Win through Jordan, and after high school Tim moved to Montreal to start the first incarnation of what would become Arcade Fire with Win and Josh Deu, the artist behind the Adult Nights cover. Tim left the group after a year, and in 2005 Kasper, Seth, Jordan and Tim reunited to form Wild Light. Through their relationship with Arcade Fire, the two bands toured extensively throughout Europe in late 2007. In the summer of 2008, Wild Light traveled to Los Angeles and entered the recording studios to work with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck) on their debut album, Adult Nights (StarTime International), released March 3, 2009.
