Formed at Youth With A Mission in Kona, Hawaii, pop/rockers LUMINOUS chose to record their debut album in their home town of Christchurch, in good ol’ NZ. Exposing The Dark sets about to do just that – expose the music industry for what it is and offer a positive alternative. With an evangelistic heart, LUMINOUS’ music ranges from KUTLESS-styled female fronted rock, to the more mellow funkyness of SUPERCHIC[K]. A combination of thought provoking lyrics and lead singer Natalie Bruce’s passionate voice force this album to leave a lasting impression on you.

Let me just start by getting this out of the way... Exposing The Dark by Luminous is the best indie project I've heard this year. Poignant, at times brooding yet always positive lyrics flow from each song. The energetic portions pound around you making it nearly impossible to remain still while the quiet portions of the album exude beauty and freeze you in your tracks. Intelligent, yet accessible lyrics, haunting piano, driving guitar, melodic riffs and rich vocals set this project on a level that matches or exceeds the quality of music being pumped out by most of the major recording labels of today.
