CD ALBUM - RELEASED AUGUST 31ST (UK) + SEPTEMBER 14TH (EU)
Occupying the twilit space between Ariel Pink’s lo-fi avant pop and the codeine beats of John Maus, Nite Jewel – the performing moniker of California native Ramona Gonzalez – bears a certain kind of universal L.A. gloom, intimate and delicate, which echoes through her debut album, stretching it from bedroom nostalgia and re-grounding it in a glittering, soft-focus present.
"A understatedly great debut."
Dusted
"Good Evening is unbelievably catchy and vintage.. makes sure to utilize every sound and cord available to mold brand new classics around barely audible vocals."
URB Magazine
"Nite Jewel is dance music’s answer to hipster-hop house bullshit, a gracious reprieve from the try-hards of contemporary electronica. This, finally, is something I can get behind."
