Hail Voyagers! Our Pick this week comes from "The Queen of Watering Places," a/k/a Brighthelmstone, a/k/a Brighton, England: Nightworkers! Their album, Sleep Generation, is out now and available via Bandcamp.
Nightworkers are: Jack Moullin - Vocals / Guitar / Percussion; Rowan Reddington - Guitar / Bass / Vocals / Sitar; Mitch Turner - Bass / Guitar / Vocals; Joe Haberfield- Keys / Synth / Vocals; Jonny Ross - Drums / Vocals / Percussion.
The album, Sleep Generation, begins with martial drumming and flurried guitar for "Wake Up #88." Then it brings the storm of psychedelic efx, tasteful, not overdone. Anthemic. Forceful. And that's just the opener. The harmonica opening of "Daydreamer," provides a wail amidst the hand-clapping mantra riding the interspersed guitar sonics and another clear winner of a track. In truth, the album in some wise reminds me of the best parts of House of Love: talent galore and sonic surprises aplenty. To wit, "Just Like Everyone Else." Put this on the Fontana debut, (a/k/a "The Butterfly album,") and no one would be the wiser methinks. I like their style. I think you will, too!
