A Feast of Beast

Julia Holter and Nite Jewel - What We See

Does anyone else miss the sound of pre-One Second of Love Nite Jewel? It’s not that I dislike the new LP (filled with radio ready hit tracks), I just don’t like it nearly as much as earlier works like, Good Evening.  While this may only be one track recorded together, Julia’s a good influence on their direction of sound, and the film work is exceptional to boot. 

Love those surreal moving through blades of grass shots.

Thank you Nite Jewel for these sweet morsels of utter strangeness.  xoxo

Nite Jewel - No I Don’t

Premiere from new LP, One Second of Love

Much of the new album from Nite Jewel sounds super sugar pop.  Its cleaned up, shiny, and definitely has a soul R&B groove to it.  Its definitely a departure, and I suppose its to be expected with the release of the She’s Always Watching You 7”.  My own tastes tend to lean away from that R&B sound, but it only really dips in full throttle in a couple tracks.  As a whole what I find is that Ramona has a superior voice that is finally moving beyond the limitations of her earlier bedroom pop releases.  I love those releases, but her new body of work makes use of her talents, exploring new regions.

Nite Jewel - One Second of Love LP is available on white haze vinyl, Ltd to 500 copies and you can snag your copy from Secretly Candadian here

Nite Jewel - Sister

New premier of b-side track from Nite Jewel’s latest yours truly 7”.  Ltd to 500 copies and comes with a handwritten letter from Ramona Gonzalez grab your copy here 

I’m actually way more diggin this track over the utlra pop hit She’s Always Watching You a-side.  This sounds more like how I think of Nite Jewel sounding, more consistent with previous releases.  More consistent isn’t always better, however in this case I’d have to side with it.

Also check out another new track via her site called One Second of Love.  Apparently releasing with the 7”??  Not too clear on that…but I definitely favor this new track as well.

I’ve been enjoyin jams form the lovely Nite Jewel since about the release of Good Evening  in 2008, and this new one nearly slipped under my radar.  Mmm glad it didn’t.
