The Nightingales defy expectations by hitting their peak after four decades, standing apart with a unique sound and no clear scene to claim them. Known for changing labels often, they remain fiercely independent, boasting a near-psychic band chemistry. Featuring contributions from Faust’s Hans-Joachim Irmler and The Lovely Eggs’ Holly Blackwell, this album offers memorable, groove-filled tracks—surpassing even Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica in charm. John Peel praised their enduring excellence, anticipating their legacy beyond the 1980s hype.
