NoNight is a Brooklyn, NY-based synth wave band featuring members of Mercury Rev, The Silent League, Sleep Maps and Pearl and The Beard. Out now is the brand new single “Take What You Want”.

NoNight explains about the single: “Justin and I wrote this one together, building everything around that pulsing beat. We aimed for a track with a banging drum part and a simple melody. The song carries a dark edge, with lyrics criticizing the grab-all-you-can society we’ve embraced as the best for everyone. People no longer have a say in their lives. A corpocracy controls us, promising we can have anything, while in reality, most people end up with nothing.”

The band recently shared the official video for lead single “Are You Out There?” via YouTube.

Justin Russo (The Silent League, Mercury Rev) and Ben Kaplan (Sleep Maps, founder of Lost Future Records) founded NoNight in 2013. Over the years, they established a loose collective of artists and recorded two previous albums, seamlessly blending ’80s synth-pop with cinematic elements. For their latest record, they have expanded their lineup by bringing in singers Jeremy Lloyd-Styles (Pearl and the Beard) and Tess Posner, adding fresh dimensions to their sound.

And now Lost Future Records will release the full 13-track album NN3 digitally on January 31, 2025.

Brooklyn, NY band NoNight have a new single out today, “We Never Say Goodbye”, from their forthcoming album “NN3”. The synth pop based group features members of Mercury Rev, The Silent League, Sleep Maps and Pearl and The Beard.

About the single, NoNight explains: ““We Never Say Goodbye” is a synth power ballad about nostalgia and loss, a song Justin and I wrote about getting older and not seeing the people you love for long periods of time. The idea for the song started with the lyric ‘We never get as much time as we want’. There’s something universal about that line and how it applies to every age. Right now Justin and I have small kids and it felt like we were watching them grow too fast. I think this song was an attempt to reconcile the feeling and the reality of aging.”

The song was originally written on acoustic guitar, but after getting vocalist Tess Posner involved, the song morphed into the beat driven synth pop ballad you hear on the album.

The band recently shared the official video for lead single “Are You Out There?” as well.
