Nightshift Announce Homosapien LP

I can’t tell you how excited about a new Nightshift LP on the horizon. I actually only got into the band a few years ago when they dropped Zoe (though I somehow ended up with a CD not an LP–weird choice on my part), but I did play it out pretty non-stop. I likely wanted to put the Glaswegian lot in that post-punk box, though if you listen to their new work, it’s clear that they’ve carefully been wiggling out of those trappings since the get-go. Little slinky guitar notes angle their way into the picture, washed ashore via the ambient soundscape behind; Eothen Stern scrawls her vocals across that soundscape, though the notes leave plenty of space for musical cascades to fall from the speakers, sharply knifing through each up-and-down note climb. It’s like they’ve embraced the jam, albeit in their own distinctive nature, and we’re totally into it. Homosapiens drops July 26th via Trouble in Mind Records.
