Nite jewel good evening rar




















Ramona Gonzalez's analog synthesizers and high, swooning vocals, swathed in tape hiss and bleary-eyed reverb, offer a warmth and tenderness that are largely absent from her darker, moodier cohorts in the Italians Do It Better camp, and though she may have all the right '80s signifiers in place to evoke that label's achingly stylish post-disco mode, there's something guilelessly genuine and personable about her approach, knowing as it may be.

The inimitable, idiosyncratic has been tossed around as a reference point, and while she can't measure up to his uncanny appeal, it's a surprisingly relevant comparison in terms of both sonics and overall effect. So it's a welcome change of pace when the album concludes with a cover of 's 'Lover,' which might qualify as the album's best track simply by dint of having a perceptible tune and structure.

Chromatics and Junior Boys make a sort of dance music suitable for transit-- steeped in typical club-friendly sonics, their records are the soundtrack to the drive home from the club rather than the night out itself.

Taken to its logical extreme, is it possible to make a sort of dance music as a completely disembodied observer? Like the phrase "Nite Jewel" itself, Good Evening is minuscule and precious, both of which are charming descriptors, but its fragility is taken to an almost palpable extent.

Once the record gets past a certain volume in headphones it doesn't take much , you can faintly hear recording buzz splitting it apart at the seams. Take "Suburbia": Underneath Gonzalez's incorporeal wail, nothing feels concrete, despite the insistent and simple repetition.

The leading synth blurt falls in and out of tune while the four-on-the-floor kick drum threatens to go into slack triplets. Nik HilP. Andrew Gomez. Christopher Greenberg. Matt Broussard.
