NPR Music featured their lead single “Carolina Lorelei” as one of the Best Songs of 2019 So Far. Check it out here: https://n.pr/326da3m

In conjunction with the album release, the duo also announces a 2020 headlining U.S. tour with dates in NYC, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Boston, Houston, and more — full dates below. For the past several months, the group has been hitting the road hard with Rainbow Kitten Surprise and The Head And The Heart – winning over crowds with their “hypnotic” (Billboard) performances and “electrifying” (Uproxx) stage presence. Despite being one of the festival’s earliest acts, they even received a standing ovation at Newport Folk Fest — “no small feat before noon” according to the Boston Globe.

Check out a live performance of their track “Better Than I Used To,” which NPR called “a perfect addition to your summertime playlist.” – https://n.pr/321KFDL 

Illiterate Light's story has taken them a lot of places: an organic farm in the Shenandoah Valley, a radical community center frequented by Mennonites and Anarchists alike, bicycle tours of the mid-Atlantic with their Petrol Free Jubilee Carnival Tour, and now to their major label debut. All along the way, Gorman and Cochran have crafted a unique worldview that emphasizes radical community — a fact that’s evident on Illiterate Light, a generous and blissful record that welcomes listeners with open arms and open ears.
