Nighttime

Eva Louise Goodman and an evolving cast of collaborators known as Nighttime craft otherworldly, cosmic folk in upstate New York’s Hudson Valley.
"As Nighttime, Goodman performs warm bedroom folk that sounds unearthed from the year 1970 alongside the likes of Sibylle Baier and Vashti Bunyan. Contemplative arrangements of acoustic guitar and violin; gossamer webs of vocal harmonies; and enigmatic lyrics feting the changing of the seasons are swaddled in gently reverbed production that sounds both intimate and expansive, as if performed in an empty church. To that point, there is a devotional quality to Goodman’s harp-like guitar playing and choral arrangements...Experiencing the five-track EP in its entirety has the affect of seeking tenderness within the deepest depths of the pandemic and, starved of softness, becoming overwhelmed from its embrace. Like the gift of a warm cup of nettle tea from a dear friend, Turning Wheel is a medicinal balm for the heart. – Stephanie Barclay, Bandcamp
“Brooklyn’s Nighttime makes the kind of cosmic folk songwriting that can lower the temperature of a room. Incredibly affecting, those pointed, incisive performances are bonded to wonderful musicality, as restrained as it is expressive… Eva Louise Goodman’s haunting vocal gets under your skin.” - Clash Magazine
“The fullness of her reverbed-out vocals swallows everything around it, taking on an almost Victorian gothic quality in its exquisite presentation. Goodman takes the traditional elements of folk music and nuances them with her shifting moods, chorus-like vocals, and the dream-like content of her lyrics… Hand in the Dark is itself an invitation to get lost, as the album progresses in its controlled, brooding cadence; it never rushes but is refreshingly patient, contemplative, and intricate.” - Post-Trash
“Nighttime’s voice is soothing, ethereal… glittering, even. With heavy reverb on doubled vocals, it sounds like she’s singing in some sort of wide-open sacred space… All the hard work of a two-year recording process certainly pays off on this 10-track album. ” - Alt Citizen
“Perhaps that is what makes the music of Nighttime so special: listening to her 2018 LP Hand in the Dark takes us back to a soundscape that’s vaguely familiar but almost entirely forgotten...The results are mesmerizing.” - The Deli

Bruno exerts raw emotion that is felt through every delicate pluck and whisper, to every coarse wail and strums... [He] leaves you lost in your tracks in the place you know best." - treble-synthesis.blogspot.com
