“Having recently become acquainted with the music of Will Stratton we were quite overwhelmed and moved by his lyrics, melodies, and sense of rhythm. NY lights is honored to be a part of this project and tried our best to make “If You Wait Long Enough” our own. This song jumped out at us with it’s dark lyrical content and wit. It is so personal a plea, but universal a sentiment that it immediately felt as though the words were our own.”
NY lights is the brainchild of multi-platinum record producer/songwriter/performer Philip A. Jimenez and his wife Kathryn Jimenez.
NY lights is raw, catchy, lyric driven, string laden, emotional rock music.

No one can accuse Stratton of terseness; his vivid lyricism (WYLYHD, ATTOTS) evokes reminiscence and substance (RF), even at times unto the "afterlight." Frenetic arpeggios (esp. on the baroque 'IFWLE') are moderated by subdued pieces like TRF. There are standout moments on P-E which benefit from collaborators, but the high-point is the 7+ minutes of the orchestral 'YD' that ascends with the aid of slow building viola, cello, violin and erupts to a Jimmy Page inspired, bliss of overdrive. hailhumanists

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
