The Shining Hours releases "Feeling So Fine"

originally published: 09/21/2023

(BROOKLYN, NY) -- The Shining Hours have released their latest track,"Feeling So Fine". The song openly explores the bittersweet emotions of relationships that ultimately end up being adverse by their very nature. The Shining Hours aims to inspire listeners with their well-blended, energetic tracks that evoke a sense of nostalgia.

The track is a perfect representation of the band's sound that combines elements of alternative indie and dream pop. "Feeling So Fine" is an engaging flow that is mellifluously remarkable. Within the framework of design The Shining Hours melodic flow works, it most definitely resonates and covers all music points.

'“Feeling So Fine” is the latest track recorded by The Shining Hours. The song inspires bittersweet feelings of being caught up in ephemeral, indulgent relationships that knowingly end up being detrimental in the end. It exemplifies the band’s sound of alternative indie/dream pop with a feel across multiple eras, from 80s to modern rock. The music is a mix of reverb-drenched guitar riffs and a booming rhythm section, melded in a melodic swirl of raw energy. The band looks to inspire others with well blended, energetic tracks with a sense of nostalgia."' - The Shining Hours

The Shining Hours are an Alt-Indie Rock band from the blaring streets of Brooklyn NY. Their music is a mix of reverb-drenched guitar riffs and a booming rhythm section, melded in a melodic swirl of raw energy, that The Blog That Celebrates Itself describes as “...something like if The Replacements joined the brats of the Arctic Monkeys and had a jam,” with relatable lyrics of which Divide and Conquer wrote, “Best of all I could make out the lyrics, and they’re good. Like, blew my mind good.” The group has been active in the New York scene, playing at local staple venues such as Mercury Lounge, TV Eye, and Arlene’s Grocery. The Shining Hours will be releasing their second EP in the fall of 2023.

The Shining Hours consist of Joseph Peters on guitar, Bill Peluso on drums, Manuel Patio on bass, and David Tsai on vocals and guitar.
