"Plugged into electric instruments, they take us to the outer expanses of our minds. It frees our souls, loosens the hinges and unwinds. A cosmic radiant light in a vision that's true. Like a fly in amber, forever distilled in an ominous hue."
Reviews of "Night Songs":
All Music Guide, (3 1/2 stars out of five):"Using a music store's worth of instrumentation, the album's moods are varied; its tracks admirably suggest specific "times" (10pm, 11pm, etc.). The overall feel, though, is '70s psychedelia. Fuzzed-out electric guitars, delicate acoustic ones, primal drums, and moody keys bob and weave in various combinations..... The production pans instruments in unusual locations; this is a soundtrack, not a collection of songs. Around five in the morning, the album brightens somewhat. Wickedly pulsing washes and acoustic jangles lead to gorgeous clean tones and winsome noodling. The denoument feels indefinite, woozy, like waking up from a strange dream."-- Cosmo Lee, All Music Guide
"Night Songs is a concept album in the classical sense, presenting an esoteric epic that has no fixed storyline, but follows the events of one long and strange evening, as each track has a traditional song title and an exact time of night.....They’re all about textures and feeling, and when there are vocals, they’re often buried in the mix under the swirling fuzzed-out guitars, strings, percussion, and other layers of sound.....The recommended setting for Night Songs is a long dark night of solitude and heavy drug use; at that point, it should all make sense."--Joel Geraghty, Stoner Rock
"Fans of Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, and acid should dig this. Night Songs is pure, 100 per cent uncut psychedelia.... there's nothing immediate about this album. These long, slow songs require a dedicated listener, but it's a very satisfying ride if you can survive it" (A minus rating)-- Jared Story, Uptown Magazine
"Spacemen 3 drone and Stooges feedback mindblenderfuck. Sweltering throbbing summer sex like mechanical robots pounding hipbones like well lubed oilrigs. Festering for eternity until the music stops.... Only recommended for elitists who actually get good loud music."--Chris Duda, Sugarbuzz Magazine
"On their debut full-length recording, the Winnipeg-based High Watt Electrocutions offer an impressive range of neo-psychedelia and space rock songs that resonate for miles. At close to 70 minutes in length, Night Songs does pose demands on a listener's attention span but its dense layers are well worth exploring and returning to for repeated listenings. With this recording, High Watt Electrocutions convey an excellent comprehension of how to spin musical repetition into hypnotic cascades of sound."--Rob Nay, Exclaim! Magazine
