After last year’s elegant debut, “Thinking Of You”, London-based six-piece The Night VI return today with a similarly titled follow-up in the form of a lilting, understated Frank Ocean cover.
Built of warm acoustics, fluttering harp lines, silky harmonies and Sophie-Rose Harper’s gorgeous hum, “Thinkin Bout You” extracts the heavy melody from Ocean’s original and makes it the track’s centerpiece. Subdued, comforting and perfectly executed, it’s a good day to have the band back in our ears.
The Night VI are also playing a string of dates to mark their return:
28 February - The Night VI Clubnight, Stoke Newington ‘secret venue’.19 March – single release with Duly Noted (label) ‘Sienna’, Birthdays, London.22 March – Boilerroom, Guilford 6 April – Communion Night at Notting Hill Arts Club, London. 25 April - The Night VI Clubnight II, Stoke Newington ‘secret venue’ .26 April – Are You Listening Festival, Reading.22 July – Blue Balls Festival, Switzerland.
