Desert Lights is an album by Something For Kate, released in 2006. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Cigarettes and Suitcases”, on 1 list with a best position of #51.
Desert Lights, Something for Kate's fifth studio album, came out on 1 June 2006 on Murmur, and it climbed all the way to No. 1 on the ARIA Charts, the band's second album to top it after The Official Fiction. Brad Wood produced, and he frames the trio's core strengths with care: Paul Dempsey's aching, articulate vocals and ringing guitar, Clint Hyndman's drums and Stephanie Ashworth's bass and backing vocals giving everything a sturdy, widescreen push.
These are big, bruised, melodic rock songs that take their time to bloom, and "Cigarettes and Suitcases" is the pick of them. By the end of 2006 it had been certified gold for shipping 35,000 copies.
