In Light is the debut studio album by the American rock band Givers. Recorded at Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana, the album was released on June 7, 2011 through Glassnote Records. Givers was founded in 2008 after a last-minute impromptu jam session at a Lafayette pub. The group, which had roots in zydeco, jazz and Cajun music, continued performing part-time until they opened for Dirty Projectors in 2009, who brought them along for an East Coast tour. Their first extended play, Givers, was released for free online in 2009 and features earlier versions of songs on In Light.
The album was recorded in January 2010 at Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana. The group signed to Glassnote Records in February 2011, who issued In Light in June 2011. The album received largely favorable reviews from music critics.
Givers was formed in 2008 in Lafayette, Louisiana by Tiffany Lamson, Taylor Guarisco, Kirby Campbell, Josh LeBlanc, William Henderson, and Nick Stephan. The band knew one another from high school in Lafayette, where "there's two or three clubs and everybody plays there and supports each other." Guarisco had toured with a zydeco band, while the other future members dabbled in Cajun and jazz music. Lamson grew up with gospel music as her parents were pastors, and she sang in the church band; she instead focused on feeling the music emotionally while the other members studied music. The band's earliest origins date to when Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005. Lamson had just started her freshman year at the University of New Orleans, where much of the band first met. Guarisco and Lamson were rooming together when the storm hit, leaving them with roughly 15 feet of water in their apartment. With school on hold and nowhere to live, the duo returned home with little to do, and began making music together and performing at open mic nights. While Lafayette was "suitably anonymous" before the disaster, nearly 30,000 people moved to the city following the tragedy, resulting an "explosion in culture."
