NONIGHT – “ARE YOU OUT THERE”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
NoNight was founded in Brooklyn, NY in 2013. A loose collective of artists held together by founding members Justin Russo (The Silent League, Mercury Rev) and Ben Kaplan (Sleep Maps, founder Lost Future Records), they have recorded two previous records focused on 80s synth pop with cinematic flourishes. For their new record the band is joined by singers Jeremy Lloyd-Styles (Pearl and the Beard) and Tess Posner.
ARTIST QUOTE
“Are You Out There was the first song Justin and I wrote for this album. Usually in our writing process one of us brings a core idea with a melody and then the other takes a pass at it under their own style. With this song I think we really achieved a true partnership to the point where I can’t tell you which parts I did and which Justin did. We wrote it knowing that Jeremy would sing the absolute hell out of it though, which he did.”
“With Are You Out There,” says Russo, “we tried to create a story of suspended loss—a moment that never fully materializes; the lingering ache of never hearing a goodbye and carrying the painful question of whether they still care.”
NN3 is a drug fueled excursion into sweaty dance clubs, rain soaked city streets and all night bars. More dance focused than previous albums, these songs focus on the throb and pulse of drum machines and synths. This is music for late night driving and riding on subways at 1am. The city going by in a smear of neon lights and half seen lovers in windows and alleys. The pulse of a city in love with itself.”
