Radiant is the fifth studio album by the electropop band Iris, released on October 24, 2014 through Dependent Records.[1][2][3][4][5]
In a 2012 interview, Andrew Sega said that while writing "Cruel Silence" from the album Blacklight, he knew it "had a non-zero chance of being the last song on the last ever Iris album."[6] After finishing the U.S. tour for Blacklight, Reagan Jones and Sega parted ways due to a tour argument, and Iris was put on hold.[1] There was more than a year of silence between the band members, and Sega thought that Iris would never again release another album.[7] However, this ended when Jones sent Sega three demo songs, which would form the basis of Radiant.[1][7] In 2014, Iris signed with Dependent Records.[2][4]
According to Sega, "[Radiant] is the story of a man who all of a sudden sees his world within a new environment and realises how bright and radiant it can truly be, if one looks upon it with different eyes."[1]
The album was mastered at Timeless Mastering in Brooklyn, New York using entirely analog recording.[8]
