Last month we hit you with a new track called “Behind the Green Door” from our pal Danny Lee Blackwell under his recording moniker Night Beats. Well today the track sees a full release as part of a limited 7″ vinyl pressing from Suicide Squeeze. Both the original song previously shared, and a new version are streamable on Bandcamp with purchase options for both digital and for the exclusive vinyl release. But wait, there’s more! Danny was also kind enough to offer some insight into his creative process and how this track came about. Hit the jump for his words, which just might offer you some personal inspiration.

Night Beats Announce New 7″

Leave a comment

Ya’ll know the ATH crew will always back some new music from the Night Beats. Danny Lee Blackwell has some masterful way of channeling all our favorites genres like old school R&B and psychedelia, then sprinkling it in with a bit of Texas flavor. This new single seems spot on for those descriptors, almost like it’s a channeling late-era Temptations, with the focus definitely revolving around the R&B realm; there’s this smoothness that I think Blackwell often doesn’t get credit for, at least in bringing it to his performances. Definitely a groovy number that reminds of his songwriting and continuous progression into all the things that make Night Beats great. A new limited 7″ is scheduled for release via Fuzz Club/Suicide Squeeze on April 11th.

One more jam from Night Beats

It seems like this new album from Danny Lee Blackwell and his project known as Night Beats is going to be one of the surprise gems of the summer. Having already shared two hits with “Hot Ghee” back in April and “Thank You” last month, my buzz and excitement was already building. Now getting yet another jam today with this new track, “Nightmare,” I can definitely confirm that the new album is going to be a psych-rock meets disco, meets bee-bop banger, from start to finish.

The new Night Beats album Rajan is due out on July 14th via Suicide Squeeze and Fuzz Club. Pre-orders are live now.

Another New Jam From Night Beats

Leave a comment

Our old pal Danny Lee Blackwell is having a bit of a resurgence in his career as he’s moved out to LA and is churning out some real gems under his Night Beats moniker. His latest hit, “Thank You,” is another tune that sort of defies a genre label or direct classification (which we are always here for). Sure we have the overt psych influence throughout, but you can also pick up soft touches of neo-soul or even some Southern gospel. As you undertake repeat listens and groove along with the beat, your sure to find some new layers to peel back and enjoy.

This track will appear on the new Night Beats album entitled Rajan which is due out on July 14th via Suicide Squeeze and Fuzz Club. Hit one of those links for pre-orders.

Night Beats Share Hot Ghee

Danny Lee Blackwell is a name most of you should know as he has been involved in a slew of bands in and around both Texas and his relocation home of Seattle. If you do not know him by name, you surely know his musical work under the moniker Night Beats. Now based out of sunny LA, you can surely hear the blend of geographical influences in his latest track called “Hot Ghee.” It certainly has these very subtle and faint touches of Texas twang in the vocals and guitar which flow beautifully within the overall California psych bop style. It’s a straight up jam.

Night Beats will release this track as part of a new album entitle Rajan which is due out on July 14th via Suicide Squeeze and Fuzz Club. Pre-orders should be live now.
