Radiant (Iris album)


Radiant is the fifth studio album by the electropop band Iris, released on October 24, 2014 through Dependent Records.

Background

In a 2012 interview, Andrew Sega said that while writing "Cruel Silence" from the album Blacklight, he knew it "had a non-zero chance of being the last song on the last ever Iris album." After finishing the U.S. tour for Blacklight, Reagan Jones and Sega parted ways due to a tour argument, and Iris was put on hold. There was more than a year of silence between the band members, and Sega thought that Iris would never again release another album. However, this ended when Jones sent Sega three demo songs, which would form the basis of Radiant. In 2014, Iris signed with Dependent Records.
According to Sega, " is the story of a man who all of a sudden sees his world within a new environment and realises how bright and radiant it can truly be, if one looks upon it with different eyes."
The album was mastered at Timeless Mastering in Brooklyn, New York using entirely analog recording.
