Nightjacket

Representing a turning-of-the-page for Nightjacket, the band’s latest EP, ’Following The Curves’, introduces its new vocalist, Canadian-born Andrea Wasse (Digital Daggers, DeadXLife). Recalling the haziness of Eighties and Nineties touchpoints such as Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star and The Sundays, 'Following The Curves' is also a personal exercise in chemistry and musical partnership. After hearing a few demos sent by guitarist Jordan Wiggins, Wasse zeroed in on what would become the song “Lonely Archer,” a channeling of idols such as Hope Sandoval and Neil Young when composing lyrics and melody. Upon meeting Wiggins and multi-instrumentalist Louie Schultz for the first time in person, Wasse recorded vocals for “Lonely Archer" that very day at Schultz’s studio in Eagle Rock, CA and an instant partnership was born. Additional songs quickly followed, ranging from the psychedelic Americana of “Lucky” to the analog synth-fueled “Burn Through Your Atmosphere” and the jangly, alternative pop of “Just A Little,” which are all featured on the collection.
