Little Machines Is The Third Studio Album By Canadian Electropop Singer-Songwriter Lights Released On September 19 2014 Through Warner Bros. Records. It Was Preceded In July 2014 By The Release Of Its Lead Single "Up We Go" Which Debuted On The Canadian Hot 100 At Number 84. In October 2014 Little Machines Debuted On The Canadian Albums Chart At Number Five And On The US Billboard 200 At Number 34. The Album Sold 8 500 Copies In Its First Week In Canada. On March 15 2015 'Little Machines' Won The Pop Album Of The Year Award At The 2015 Juno Awards. The Album Title Comes From A Lyric In The Song "Running With The Boys". After Promoting The Acoustic Version Of Her Second Studio Album Siberia In 2013 Lights Returned To The Studio To Work On New Material. On Little Machines Lights Was Inspired By Bold Female Artists Including Björk Kate Bush And Patti Smith While Also Wanting To Remain Accessible. Critics Have Noted The More Lighthearted Nature Of The Lead Single "Up We Go" In Comparison To The Grittier More Experimental Dubstep-Pop Of Siberia Which Is Indicative Of The Sonic Direction Of The Album As A Whole. In An Interview With Billboard Lights Explained That While She Felt Like Taking Risks On Siberia Little Machines Was More About Creating Great "incredible Songs That Everyone Can Sing Along To And Lyrically Latch Onto" And Then Putting Them Together As An Album. Working With Producer Drew Pearson And Mark "Spike" Stent Lights Captured A "timeless Electronic Sound" And Found Herself Lyrically Gravitating Towards Themes Of Nostalgia And Naivety. Lights Has Described The Album As "a Triumph After A Hard Dry Spell" And "a Complete Journey From Front To Back " Noting That During The Recording Process She Found Herself "turning To Poetry Art And Female Songwriting Legends ... And Just Enjoying Herself Again." Lights Recorded The Album While Pregnant With Her First Child And Noted That For Certain Songs She Had To Alter The Way She Sang Due To Her Diaphragm Muscles Tightening. She Recorded The Vocals To The Song "Muscle Memory" While In The Early Stages Of Labor Which Required Her To Take Multiple Breaks. Little Machines Was Made Available For Pre-Order On July 22 2014 With Lead Single "Up We Go" Also Available For Purchase At That Time. The Announcement Came After A Ten-Day Countdown On Lights' Official Social Media Pages. To Promote The Album Lights Toured In The US During The Fall Starting October 24 In Portland Maine. "Up We Go" Was Released To Digital Retailers And Canadian Radio On July 22 2014. It Was Serviced To Modern Rock Radio In The United States On September 9.
