Night Beats

Seattle’s Night Beats are back with a new album, Sonic Bloom, that’s out September 24 via Reverberation Appreciation Society. It’s thirteen tracks of groovy, garagey psych and perfect for your next head trip. The band just made a video for album standout “The 7 Poison Wonders” which features the band on the way to a cool gig, in which they pick up a hitchhiker and things go momentarily wrong, but (spoiler) rock n’ roll perseveres. Then again maybe it was just a dream. Judge for yourself, the video makes it’s premiere in this post. You can watch it, and stream another track from the album, below.

Night Beats will be on the road this fall, including two stops in NYC: November 9 at Death by Audio and November 12 at Mercury Lounge. No advance tickets for DBA, but tickets for Mercury Lounge are on sale Friday (8/23) at noon.

Before their North American tour, Night Beats head to Europe where they’ll play the Levitation France in Angers, FR. The two day festival (September 20 & 21) is from the Austin Psych Fest folks (who also run Reverberation Appreciation Society) and also features performances from The Black Angels, Dead Skeletons, Beak>, Dead Meadow, Damo Suzuki, Wall Of Death, Tamikrest, Camera, Lola Colt and more. Tickets are on sale now.

All Night Beats tour dates are listed, along with album art, tracklist, video and track stream, below.
