Night Drives

Product Information

Throughout Night Drives, Kathryn is joined by a host of collaborators, including Kirsty Logan, Oystein Greni, Romeo Stoddart, Matt Deighton, Simon Edwards, Yvette Williams, Neill Maccoll, Andy Bruce, Ida Wenoe, Joel Sarakula, Emily Barker and John Alder. Elsewhere on the likes of ‘Moon Karaoke’, ‘Magnets’ and ‘The Brightest’, a more cinematic sound is explored; slowly unravelling stories backed by delicate acoustics and elated, emotive string pieces. As impressive a stat as that might be, it does little to capture the true magic of Williams work; the enchanting craft that has grown and expanded as she’s moved from one project to the next, from the breakthrough success of her Mercury Prize nominated Little Black NumbersLP all the way to her Sylvia Plath tribute project and 2017’s Greatest Hitscollection - not a greatest hits at all, in fact, rather an imagined retrospective for a fictional artist and an inspired soundtrack to Laura Barnett’s novel of the same name.

There was another record, of course, between these two St John-produced LPs; a collaboration with Neill MacColl, whose father, Ewan MacColl, wrote ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’, which Williams had previously performed at a special Daughters Of Albion concert in 2005. At times she seems to be coming from a different planet, “ Human” opens with odd noises and continues to have bits of strangeness that pop up. Getting into a heated argument, for example, can distract you from the most important task at hand — driving safely.

The collection explores a more filmic sound, with a larger ensemble of instrumentation, particular emphasis on the strings and production from Ed Harcourt. It's much better to be safe than sorry and the life-threatening risks of falling asleep at the wheel for just a few seconds are much more important than the inconvenience of being late to your destination. Having the label, Ed Harcourt and the other artists who I work with believe in me has helped me believe in myself and want to be what they think I am. Russ, obviously, becomes a bit unsettled by the situation while cool, calm, and collected Charlotte acts like vehicular manslaughter is no big deal.

Keep in mind that weekend nights (Friday and Saturday) usually have more drunk drivers than ordinary weeknights because many people choose to start their weekend with a drink or two. Indeed, if any film might serve as primer for the explosive revelations to mention it might be to give away elements, and twist isn't right. A two-hander, often confined to a single vehicle, there might be shades of Drive or Collateral, but that Tiptronic Aristotlean unity is shared with other fare like 4x4 and Locke. The twist comes up suddenly and very unexpectedly, and most of all, knowing the ending makes any rewatch of the film take a really different route. You’ll come across a good selection of nocturnal animals during the drive, such as nightjars, servals, African wild cats, springhares and owls.Drums get fuzzed and dirty; pianos sound distant like they’ve been taken from other discs and thrown into positions that one would not expect to work. In addition, for top visibility, you'll want to keep your windshield, windows, and mirror as clear and clean as you can. Glasses can sometimes reflect oncoming lights in ways that create an obscuring glare for the wearer. Taking on similar aspects of a buddy-cop film, Russ and Charlotte become reluctant partners in crime.

The things that influence you aren’t necessarily going to come out in obvious ways, unless you’re trying to copy,” she said in a 2007 interview. It’s about realising that by sharing things creatively, they can be better and it’s not about showing people how great you are. Her first official album since ‘Hypoxia’ in 2015, ‘Night Drives’ opens with some of Kathryn’s most immediately electronic tracks to date, the nihilistic ‘Human’, big ballad ‘Answer In The Dark’ with all it’s bold, layered production, and the dynamic, infectious ‘Radioactive’. Not just late night drives, here are 15 other things that will cheer you up instantly no matter how bad your day goes.If you're rounding a corner or going over a hilltop and you start to see the faint glow of another car's headlights from around the bend, turn your high-beams off in advance so that the other driver isn't suddenly blinded.
