Quiet Light

Quiet Light, the Texas-based project of Riya Mahesh, plays London Oslo with special guests Kelly No Brakes. The night presents electropop songs built around sparse songwriting and ambient, electronic and folk textures.

Quiet Light is the project of Riya Mahesh, who works as a producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist from Texas. The self-titled debut EP appeared in 2020, followed by the self-produced albums Blue Angel Sparkling Silver in 2023, Fourth of July, Going Nowhere in 2024 and Pure Hearts in 2025. The music is described as electropop with a dreamlike, Lynchian quality, drawing on ambient, electronic and folk sounds. Critical attention has come from The FADER, and Iggy Pop has voiced support for the project.

Quiet Light has also given direct support on tour to Cameron Winter, Erika de Casier, Nilufer Yanya and Chanel Beads. A forthcoming mixtape, Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2, is due on True Panther, the label home of Oklou, Jawnino and Grace Ives, and is presented as a reflection on the places and influences that shaped the artist's path.

The concert is presented by Parallel Lines, with Kelly No Brakes as special guests. London Oslo, at 1A Amhurst Road, is a venue that mainly hosts concerts with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music.
