Siberia (Lights album)
Siberia is the second studio album by Canadian musician Lights, released on October 4, 2011. [2] The album was preceded by the single "Toes".[3] Artists making guest appearances on the album include Holy Fuck and rapper Shad.[3] Lights indicates a dubstep influence on the album, stating "I don't think I've incorporated it totally, but there's a lot of dubstep in there."[3] Lights embarked on her Siberia tour on October 14, 2011, in support of the album.[4]
The album is described as being slightly grittier in a musical sense than the previous, The Listening, but retaining the charm and innocence of the previous album and EP. [5]
The album debuted at #3 on the Canadian Albums Chart with 10,000 copies sold in its first week.[6] Siberia also made its debut on the Billboard 200 at #47, selling over 8,700 copies.[7][8][9]
