Elusive London based 3-piece Night Tapes today share new singlebabygirl (like no1 else) via Nettwerk Music Group. On the new cut, the much-hyped group channel classic trip hop with pop hooks and a sense of wonder. Sparse beats and spacious synths create a deep ambience for vocalist Iiris Vesik’s hypnotic and arresting vocals.
On the new single, Iiris offers: “To be honest this song is a mystery to me. there are lots of interpretations that can happen. I have a feeling that this song is about a specific energy and feelings of wanting to possess//control that can accompany it. In the right amount and in the right place and time this energy is sexy as fuck , when off balance it’s fucking diabolical”
Three electronic producers with a penchant for analogue, Night Tapes exist in a world that is dreamy and widescreen with plenty of bite. Debut single Forever now sits on 10 million streams on Spotify and became an underground hit through the pandemic. Traditional song structures often handbrake turn into dissonant noise or extended ambient sections, blurring the lines between band and studio project in new and exciting ways.
Earlier this week, Night Tapes performed alongside Franc Moody at O2 Academy, Brixton. More to come from Night Tapes very soon.
