| Today, Night Shop (the solo project of Justin Sullivan, who is best known for playing drums for Kevin Morby, in addition to his work with Flat Worms and The Babies) shares a brand new single entitled “Harness,” the second track off a brand new double A-side, “Universal City” / “Harness,” the band’s third release on Dangerbird Records. The new second track also comes alongside an accompanying video, directed and edited by Madeleine Daste.
This double-single meditates on the twin faces of desire. “Universal City” is a reminder that there is still joy to feel and beauty to behold the world over, even in the face of a romantic love that is doomed. A sense of walking away and starting over. Showing up for what is, not what could have been. “Harness” is a paean to the unyielding passion that keeps us tied to our beloved; no matter how painful it can feel. In dialogue with the open, expansive vision of “Universal City,” “Harness” gently declares: yes, and this can happen too. For both are part of the torturous, beautiful journey of being alive
This new release follows Night Shop’s newest record, Forever Night, which features Meg Duffy on guitar (Hand Habits), Jess Williamson, Anna St. Louis, and Jarvis Taveniere (Woods/Purple Mountains), is engineered by Jarvis Taveniere, and co-produced by Justin and Jarvis. |
