Dim Lit is the debut album by British jazz band Polar Bear, formed and led by drummer Sebastian Rochford.
Polar Bear were awarded Best Band at the BBC Jazz Awards 2004, giving Dim Lit a platform for small scale success. It was eventually surpassed by their following album Held On The Tips Of Fingers (2005), which was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize.
The album was initially released on Babel Label and re-issued by The Leaf Label in 2014.
The Guardian write that this album "captures (Polar Bear's) unique virtues" and that it "goes straight on to the albums-of-2004 longlist". The BBC call Dim Lit "a finely crafted album" in their review of the follow-up album.
