Nightjacket

Nightjacket have established themselves as a prominent indie dream pop act in the Los Angeles music scene. With lush soundscapes, pulsing beats, and soaring vocals, Nightjacket has received critical acclaim. Nightjacket began in 2015, when guitarist/co-founder Jordan Wiggins and former lead vocalist Holland Belle wrote and recorded the band’s debut EP, Eternal Phase, in Wiggins’ home studio. The six-song collection of hypnotic and airy compositions would go on to receive acclaim locally and nationally by the likes of SPIN, Consequence of Sound, FLAUNT, Los Angeles Magazine, LA Weekly and more, and led to shows with like-minded acts such as The Mary Onettes, Veruca Salt and Tennis System, as well as a west coast tour of the U.S. with Canadian psychedelic rock band The Besnard Lakes. The follow-up, 2019’s full-length debut album Beauty In The Dark, introduced new analog synth textures to the band’s sound. The album takes a journey from the sultry shoegaze of “I Can’t Believe” and swirling atmospherics on “You’re Trying Too Hard” to the dreamy romance of “Waking Up With You,” which led Rolling Stone to praise, With its dreamy jangle and dramatic delivery, ‘Waking Up With You’ nods to the glory days of shimmering college-rock, back when groups like 10,000 Maniacs and the Sundays briefly ruled the roost.
