Gion Stump & The Lighthouse Project

Big melodies, intricate arrangements and music that refuses to fit neatly into a single category: Gion Stump & The Lighthouse Project blend progressive rock with art pop and synth pop, combining powerful guitars, dark soundscapes, piano, strings and rich vocal harmonies. Founded in St. Gallen in 2006, the band has continued to evolve its distinctive sound — from the early albums Fine Lines At Dawn and Lost In Limbo to Holy Darkness and the multifaceted A Penny for the Fool, which reached number 12 on the Swiss album charts. Catchy choruses meet unexpected twists, intimate moments unfold into orchestral grandeur, and melancholic undertones give way to a sense of hope and new beginnings. The band also keeps exploring new dimensions live — on festival stages, in clubs and alongside a symphony orchestra. With the EP Fragments, Gion Stump & The Lighthouse Project bring their emotional side to the forefront. Stripped-back arrangements built around piano, vocals, bass and strings offer an immediate and intimate perspective on songs about memory, mortality, love and the search for light in the darkness.
