The Nightjar Album Launch: Dark Post-folk, Film, Projections and Animation
Drawing influence from the surreal atmospherics of Grouper, the stark and poignant balladry of Diane Cluck and the deft compositions of Colleen, The Nightjar use close-harmonies, tight-interlocking guitars, deep bass and an intense lead vocal to paint fragile, haunting landscapes for their dream-like, ethereal songs of hope, loss and disaster. Inspired by Eastern notions of emptiness, the ephemeral nature of reality and the cultivation of empathy for the world, The Nightjar’s work holds a plaintive resonance of the philosophizing of legendary French composer Olivier Messiaen, whose Catholic faith and explorations of the void of existence comes to mind when The Nightjar refer to their album Objects as “songs for the end of time.”
