KIll the Lights was released on July 8th, 1997. After the release of their first album, "All Destructive Urges… Seem So Perfect". Lowercase decides to take a far less noisy, dissonant and almost sparse; production of sound for Kill the Lights and focus more on atmospheric build up and more melodic undertones. A sound they've nearly captured on their 1995 single, "Cadence / No. 6 Arc". Kill the Lights is notable for taking on a more cold and anxious approach to post-hardcore and still capturing the sound that they've done on All Destructive Urges, but takes on both slowcore and emo undertones. Sonically, sticking out like a sore thumb during the Palm Desert scene of stoner rock that it came from. This album served almost as blueprints for the sonic direction for their final album, "The Going Away Present". Taking on a more slowcore and post-punk influence.
Kill the Lights would be their last album under the label of Amphetamine Reptile Records before going to the Punk in My Vitamins record label for their final album The Going Away Present. Releasing only one single and one album under the AmRep label.
