Night Tapes – PORTALS//POLARITIES Deluxe
Night Tapes release the deluxe version of their stellar debut album portals//polarities.
The album expands with three stunning tracks as part of a deluxe release. Fans will welcome “to be free”, “swim”, and “the crest of the wave” to an already iconic debut run.
Additionally, the band has announced a handful of US shows this fall, including Austin City Limits, Miami, and Pioneertown. The band is also confirmed to play Capitol Hill Block Party, Outside Lands, and Up In The Sky festivals this summer. See all dates below and tickets here.
These singles extend the transcendent soundscape of the record even further. By blending electronica, trip-hop, and shoegaze, portals//polarities is a boundless record that floats effortlessly between defined genres.
The album received widespread critical acclaim from the likes of NME, DIY, Notion, Wonderland, The Line Of Best Fit, and Clash plus sustained support at BBC Radio1. The record culminated in a euphoric sold-out show at London’s Village Underground and is continuing to go from strength to strength with their live shows, having just completed a highly successful North American tour and an extensive festival run through the summer and into September. Full dates below.
Night Tapes are Iiris Vesik, Max Doohan, and Sam Richards. Three electronic producers with a penchant for analog, Night Tapes exist in a world that is dreamy and widescreen with plenty of bite. Traditional song structures often handbrake turn into dissonant noise or extended ambient sections, blurring the lines between band and studio project in new and exciting ways.
