NIGHT DRIVE
Summary
“Exactly the kind of glossy, echoed Interpol and Lower Dens vibes that are ideal to put on while rocketing down the interstate at 90mph in the dead of night.” — Spin Magazine Night Drive transforms cinematic sci-fi landscapes into high-impact synth-pop. Their emotive style fuses shadowed textures and reflective lyrics with soaring hooks and driving beats, creating a sleek, kinetic sound that has resonated across film, television, and radio worldwide. Touring alongside Crystal Castles, CHVRCHES, Ladytron, ACTORS and The Psychedelic Furs, the group has built a reputation for immersive live performances that resonate long after the final note. New releases arriving very soon.
