“Porch Lights is about being young, desperate and hungry in a place that can’t contain your ambitions,” explains guitarist and video director Scott Cerny. “We wanted to make a video that told a story of two lovers on the run in the biggest way we could. The need to escape, to run free, to chase that fire, wherever it may lead.”
The song is taken from their highly anticipated upcoming album, Sleeping Giant, which will be released worldwide on May 12th, 2015 via Krian Music Group. The album was recorded at legendary Bear Creek Studios in Seattle with producers Jerry Streeter and Ryan Hadlock, who are known for their work with Brandi Carlile and The Lumineers.
Sleeping Giant signifies a new direction for the band, as the music has turned from an acoustic, folk element to a more electric, American rock sound while still keeping the folk spirit from their earlierwork. The songs on “Sleeping Giant” deal with becoming a man and finding identity in a constantly changing world, staying rooted in something that can be shaken but not moved, and realizing that we all have a sleeping giant inside of us waiting to be set free.
The Cerny Brothers are in the middle of their current spring tour with The Giving Tree Band. They play tonight in Phoenix, AZ at the Rhythm Room. The remaining dates of the tour can be found below.
