Pretty Lights' latest track could very well mean a pot of gold — or finally the new album, in this case — is at the end of this rainbow.

Pretty Lights' Live Episodic Festival Tour comes to the Denver-area and Chicago.

Pretty Lights took to the internet today in a grassroots marketing effort to announce upcoming shows and grace devoted fans with over 30 unreleased tracks.

In a rare interview with 'Denver Post,' Pretty Lights has revealed plans to release a new audio/visual album in early 2017. The forthcoming project will be Pretty Lights' first album since 2013's 'A Color Map of the Sun.'

After two and a half years of diligent composition, Derek Vincent Smith's most ambitious project to date, A Color Map of the Sun, is finally seeing the light of day.

Derek Vincent Smith's new Pretty Lights album has been a long time in the making. So long, in fact, that fans (myself included) have become overbearingly curious as to what the PLM boss has been up to this whole time.

My musical journey began with hip hop and no matter where it's takes me I will always feel a deep connection to the genre that first made me truly feel music -- instead of just hear it. So, it makes sense that out of all the DJs on the Electric Zoo bill I was most excited for Pretty Lights, whose set would inevitably include his own hip hop infused productions. By straying outside the boundaries of the genre Derek Vincent Smith, the man behind the moniker, has made himself a mistfit within the electronic dance music world. However, he's not the "uncool," outcast kind of misfit but the kind who is shrouded in unpredictable, idiosyncratic mystery. When he stepped on stage to take his place behind the glowing, rainbow throne that awaited his arrival he proved that being an outcast is not so bad after all.
