Listen to the right kind of music and you can be transported off into another world. Including a world of emotion, imagination or fantasy. You could find yourself getting lost. Lost in its beauty, its subtlety or its majesty. Listen to Night Games, chances are you’ll end up doing both.
This East London duo of Constance and Paul have been gathering fans and positive reviews for a couple of years now. Having cleansed their soundcloud of the old in recent months, they appear focused and each new track has seen the pair reach new heights. Their previous track ‘Faithless’, almost sounds like what we’d get if Jessie Ware had been asked to do a Tron soundtrack, is great but their latest track, ‘Suffocate’, which first filtered out in late 2014, is just wonderful piece of electro-dream pop.
Constance’s ethereal vocals wisp over Paul’s synths create a gloriously evocative soundscape. As the electronics twist and stretch out there is a sense of discovery within a dystopian world. As the melody widens, a heartbeat begins; a rhythm of awakening inside a cold metal body as an AI becomes aware perhaps, aware of itself and of its capacity for love. Aware of the world around it and its fragility and beauty. As it builds to a crescendo, as layer upon layer reaches out like a galaxy across the night sky of this world we find ourselves lost in; as the vocals, rhythm and melody entwine to become one sumptuous whole,
Hailing from our very own London town, Night Games are the duo quickly making a name for themselves with their unique take on spacious electro-pop. Constance and Paul – they don’t do last names for now, at least – are forging a self-assured sound that pairs Contance’s light touch, high impact vocal talent with spiraling synth loops and intelligent production.
