Night Tapes’ EP “Loner” is a refreshing addition to the chill, vaporwavey genre, offering a cool and understated vibe that’s perfect for a late-night drive or a moment of introspection. With nods to the hypnotic groove of phonk and indie pop influences, Night Tapes carve out their own space in the musical landscape.
The opening track, “Loner,” sets the tone with its indie pop sensibilities reminiscent of acts like Men I Trust, yet with added ambient elements that lend a dreamy quality to the sound. The soft, feminine vocals guide listeners like a beacon in the night, while the steady drums keep the groove chilled to perfection. It’s a song that feels like a refreshing sip of water on a hot day, soothing and invigorating all at once.
Moving on to “Drifting,” the EP continues to captivate with its hip bass lines, floating synths, and ethereal vocals that seem to transport listeners to another dimension. It’s the kind of music that invites you to ascend, to lose yourself in the spaciness of the soundscapes created by Night Tapes.
Throughout “Loner EP,” the musicianship is undeniable. Night Tapes play with a subdued yet confident flair that speaks volumes of their skill and mastery of their craft. Each track is carefully crafted to draw listeners in and keep them hooked until the very end.
As a listener and newfound fan, I can confidently say that Night Tapes have left a lasting impression with “Loner EP.” Their blend of chill vibes, groovy undertones, and ambient textures is both captivating and refreshing. I eagerly anticipate catching them live the next time they grace Seattle with their presence.
