Nightly Things

This is the masterwork of Brooklyn's swinging sultan, multi-instrumentalist, and masterful songwriter Dan Smith and friends. Their debut full-length is a journey into a creepy and disturbing surreal nightlife of enemies, coarse love, and violence delivered with both a manic desperation and deadpanned absurdity that's augmented by Smith's intricate guitar picking and a woman's mournful harmonies. 'Nightly Things' takes the time-honored American gothic themes and recasts them in a witches brew of middle eastern and eastern European musical influences. The result is a beautifully disorienting trek through the wilderness of Smith's disturbing mind.
