Reveries for the laziest day of the week
16 February 2025
Band: NIGHTJACKET
Who: Dream pop band based in Los Angeles. Formed in 2014. With lush soundscapes, pulsing beats, and soaring vocals, they have received critical acclaim from various media outlets including Stereogum, SPIN, American Songwriter, Buzzbands LA, and Under the Radar. They released their debut album Beauty In The Dark in 2019.
Track: MY ONLY HEART
An intimate and soaring love song that encapsulates the glow of devotion.
A sonic love letter, exuding warmth, nostalgia, and undeniable romance.
Jordan Wiggins (guitarist/vocalist): “I was trying to capture a glimpse of how Danielle makes me feel. She’s so bright, which I think “My Only Heart” conjures with its resonant, swirling guitars and grooving rhythm section. At the same time, she’s down to earth and comforting, which Andrea’s vocals really drive home.
The song got faster and faster in tempo the more we worked on it. The demo was significantly slower, and I think the version you hear is maybe the third iteration of recording. Louie [Schultz] (multi-instrumentalist) brought some beautiful strings to the track late in the recording process, partially inspired by the Eurythmics’ Here Comes the Rain Again.”
TUTV: This endearing little guitar-pop gem captures your aural attention from
the first chord on. The song’s lovey-dovey sentiments and starry-eyed, glistening
sparkles, combined with tender vocals, bring two heart-and-soul touching, romantic
voices to mind. Belly’s Tanya Donelly and The Sunday’s Harriet Wheeler one.
My Only Heart‘s desirous devotedness bewitches.
Butterflies everywhere. Music for the midnight hours.
