Hailing from Victoria, B.C and comprised of couple Jon Middleton (of Jon & Roy) and Sierra Lundy, the euphoric west coast/indie-folk duo Ocie Elliott, met playing music at a festival on the small, wind-swept Salt Spring Island, where their love of music and the chemistry of their voices fostered an instant connection. "With the Light Down" was written after Sierra's last birthday, which takes place on June 21, the summer solstice. It was a beautiful and warm early summer evening and we had a beach party to celebrate. It was the first time in a while where the band was seeing people outside of their core friend groups and the night was magical with music, conversation and ocean swims. The song points to the feeling left-over from the celebration: a mixture of love, happiness and gratitude.
