Night Beats have revealed another track from the new LP – check out “Nightmare”, one of our favourites off the album! Danny and his band have always blown us away with his guitar, vocals and songwriting, and this track is pure magic.
The new record “Rajan” is out July 14th. We’ve got a Tri-Tone vinyl dream for your turntable – our Levitation Edition pressing is limited to 300 copies. Following recent singles ‘Thank You’ and ‘Hot Ghee’, Night Beats are dropping their new single and video ‘Nightmare’. A slice of soulful psychedelic R&B, the track is the latest to be lifted from LA-based Danny Lee Blackwell’s sixth Night Beats album,
On ‘Nightmare’, Blackwell writes: “I wanted to hear sounds and cries of unconditional, blind love. I wanted swirling, fitful guitars, speaking in tongues, thrashing around in a chest trying to break free. A call and response to the blood curdling voice of a lost soul, ringing out, pleading for understanding. ‘Rajan’ is laced with distant, layered choral groups, exploring pathways paved by Isley Brothers, David Ruffin, Grace Slick and other psychedelic soul pioneers of the time. I wanted to hear the sounds of service to the ones you love, even being blinded by it. This song creates a circle, if you’re listening. A cascading roadmap through a nightmare. Thunder and lightning, flashing neon blue lights, rhetorical puzzles.
‘Nightmare’ is lifted from Night Beats’ new album, ‘Rajan’, due out July 14th via Fuzz Club and Suicide Squeeze Records.
