Bloodlines - INWARDS remix

Electronic producer Inwards twists Night House’s indie folk into a dark late-night deep groove with bursts of warm orchestral strings and swirling distant choirs.

Inwards is the alias of Kristian Shelley, a multi-instrumentalist and music programmer from Worcestershire, UK. His work exists in the experimental domain and draws influence from the far borders of dance music, using modular synths with acoustic and electronic sources to create a nostalgic and colourful sonic palette.

Night House songwriter Nick Williams “I’ve long been a fan of Inwards music, but I was absolutely blown away by what Kris has done to Bloodlines. The way he’s restricted the track around the strings section and glitching beats is mesmerising”

Bloodlines (Inwards remix) is out now via Back In The Woods records.

The debut single from Night House + Reid is an 80’s tinged pop banger. 

Orchestral flourishes and analogue synthesisers are juxtaposed with angular vocals and captivating melodies. Put the past behind you and let’s drive!

Lyrics 
Boarding my flight
Back home from Narita
There was ice on the wing
And a pain in my head
Wheels spinning slow
All the way to the airport
The storm hit the rain
And the rain hit the storm

But I couldn't get over
Your words said in anger
About my life
And about our mother
But oh brother
I know how hard it's been for you in this life
Friends don't come easy
How foolish I was
To think it could be
Any different for us

I carry this fear
Of losing my parents
What would I be
Would it be years between seeing each other
Would you pick up the phone
And call your own brother

Our dad, he turns seventy this year
He'll fly to you to celebrate in Japan
It breaks my heart daily
That I won't be there
I don't feel welcome
I don't know how I can

Boarding my flight
Back home from Narita
There was ice on the wing

New Year's Prayer

Brighton-based Night House are delighted to announce the release of their spellbinding debut album, Everyone Is Watching From Afar, out on 27th March 2020 via Back in The Woods Records.   

Blending electronic beats, orchestral arrangements and lyric-driven song-writing, Night House has a sound that is almost spiritual; beautiful, uplifting ethereal harmonies meld with modern electronica to create a warm, intelligent sound that is reminiscent of Björk and Wild Beasts, with lead singer Nicholas Williams aptly described by Radio Reverb as a “falsetto Tom Waits”.  

The collective draw from a wide range of influences marrying the electronic work the likes of which James Blake and Radiohead are renowned for, with the folk harmonies of Sufjan Stevens, Joni Mitchell, and Bon Iver.   Co-produced and mixed by Dan Brown (Massive Attack, Jerry Williams, Luca), the record was written during a period of family bereavement with the personal lyrics drifting over warm strings and clarinets, where layered vocal harmonies meet icy synthesizers and electronic beats. The unique album features performances from a range of Brighton artists, including the lead vocals and harp of acclaimed songwriter Ellie Ford on “The Roots in the Wires”.   

The band have gained recognition throughout the past 12 months having released several singles from the forthcoming album. Night House have picked up support from tastemakers such as M-Magazine (PRS for Music), Clash Magazine, BBC Radio, The Vinyl District and Come Here Floyd, as well as videos premiering on Attitude Magazine and God is in the TV.    

Night House have supported many artists including Ben Howard, Willy Mason, Solomon Grey, Krystle Warren and The Magic Numbers. Road testing the material for Everyone Is Watching From Afar took the band on four European tours, including headline shows upstairs at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club as well as sell out home town shows at Brighton’s St Nicholas and Unitarian churches. They've performed at many festivals including at The Great Escape, Rhythm Tree, The Isle of Wight and Ynot.

NIGHT HOUSE


"A crushed medley of sweetened folk and bitter rock music. Each passage is gilded by lead singer Nick Williams’s falsetto vocals and a sparse electric piano which then crescendo into a soft as butter unreleased Radiohead single"
Nuit Magazine 9/10
 
"Hushed tones interlocking with sedate elements of electronics, reference points could include everyone from Bon Iver to James Blake" 
Clash Magazine

Night House's live performances see singer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Williams moving between fender rhodes, synthesisers, drum machines, mandolin and acoustic guitar. He's backed by the layered strings of Alfie Weedon on double bass and Amy Squirrell on cello. 

"Unfold is a truly stunning and intricate arrangement showcasing Williams’ intensity and talent as an artist. Emotive from the get-go, masterfully weaving lyrics and textured electronics providing the ultimate combination."

Radio Reverb, Brighton


“As the piano strikes the final chord you are forced to marvel at how Night House have delicately created such a tight collection of thought-provoking songs; and they've done so whilst steering clear of producing the kind of contrived tearjerkers that many others attempt.”
