Let Your Dim Light Shine was released in 1995 by Soul Asylum as the big follow-up to the 1990s alternative rock milestone Grave Dancers Union, which featured their biggest hit Runaway Train. Once again did the band achieve platinum status, with three singles hitting the charts. "Misery" even reached #20 in the US Billboard Top 100 and was even parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic, probably the best indicator of being a huge band in 1990s.

The album was produced by Butch Vig, who produced Nevermind (Nirvana), and helped to keep the signature alternative sound of the band´s previous albums intact. Till this day, the album is seen as a highlight in the bands 40-plus-year career.[info sheet from distr.]
