qu0ckerwodger Saw then live in Vancouver! Great show and great people, this album is such a vibe! I can both head bang and fall asleep to! Favorite track: babygirl (like n01 else).

Vitus Absolutely love this album! Shoegazy and dreamy, mixed with sprinkles of cyberpunk soundscapes and 90's nostalgia. Crystal clear, beautiful vocals. It's captivating, glad I came across Night Tapes <3

Vivian Currently my AOTY, this dream pop record couldn't get any more ethereal or resonate any more deeply than it does here. Cohesive and immensely dreamy from start to finish and lyrics that I continuously find myself coming back to - yeah, this one is hard to put down once you hear it. Favorite track: leave it all behind, Mike.

(Test recording) (Uhh) (Hmm) Looking through a lens Some people’s world is a paintball game I’m having too much fun To have a meltdown on the overground I met Enya on the train And rabbits at the end of the harvest time I used to not get it Now I feel like I’m learning slowly Design Enter into a delight design Enter into a delight design Baby go outside You don’t need to stay here in your mind Having too much fun? How far away can I go until I feel it? How far away can I go until I feel it? How far? Design Enter into a delight design I enter into a delight design I enter into a delight design You enter into a delight design I enter into a delight design I enter into a delight design Enter into a delight design Enter into a delight design

Step out of a duality Built and kept for some financial reasons Ah-oooh If you can feel it You can change it Yeah it’s a feeling That has been changing Ah-oooh If you can feel it You can change it Yeah it’s a feeling That got us changing So you think that you’re rational? Where the fuck did you get that idea? The event and the information? I’m just another swordsman I’m not dueling to hurt you To hurt you is to hurt myself Put yourself in my boots babe I’m just another swordsman Ah-oooh If you can feel it You can change it Yeah it’s a feeling That has been changing Ah-oooh If you can feel it You can change it Yeah it’s a feeling That got us changing (Ahh) (Ahh) I wanna be a winner I don’t want to be a loser I try to keep myself in check, babe I’m just another swordsman Could we stop cutting into our hearts? Could you choose me over an idea? To hurt me is to hurt yourself On the quest to carry life I’m just another swordsman I’m just another swordsman I’m just another swordsman I’m just another swordsman

I’m in the undercurrents Beneath the cities of Who we used to be Past the scenery Under the water we swim Her silence speaks In the strangest ways You might just Vanish in her eye I’m a baby girl like no1 else You’re not gonna play With no1 else Don’t you wanna change The way I am Step into my world I’m a baby girl like no1 else Stranger in a twirl Like no1 else Don’t you wanna change The way I love Change my world (World) Enveloped in the quiet I’m just a sucker For the cause And your words How else would we stay strong I’m a baby girl like no1 else You’re not gonna play With no1 else Don’t you wanna change The way I am Step into my world I’m a baby girl like no1 else You’re not gonna play With no1 else How would you like To be someone else Change your world I’m a baby girl like no1 else Stranger in a twirl Like no1 else Don’t you wanna change The way things are Change the symbols

pacifico 03:18
Letting yourself go When complexity is comfort Does it show In the garden of the things unseen? The joy of my necessity I play around with seconds of the day Tigershark in integrity Trying to find some infinity online I see the sign and surf the vibe In San José del Pacifico We waste our time in the sunshine In San José del Pacifico You said one day you will be mine In San José del Pacifico I see the sign and surf the vibe In San José del Pacifico (Ahh, ahh) (Ahh, ahh) You say there's no angels To be found in London But do know There’s a local Eden At your local supermarket You find and shop transcendence And with the world so violent The sign, your eye I see the sign and surf the vibe In San José del Pacifico We waste our time in the sunshine In San José del Pacifico You said one day you will be mine In San José del Pacifico I see the sign and surf the vibe In San José del Pacifico (Ahh, ahh) (Ahh, ahh) In San José del Pacifico (Ahh, ahh) In San José del Pacifico

masterplan 04:21
Walking on Walking on a curved line down All I ever wanted was to be free But as a villain in a story I’ve always dressed the best and played to win As I feel like I am constantly Running off the edge of the world Jesus in a Nike shirt Is shouting “relax!” at me And an algorithmic hand of chance Is just another dream Hey there Angel in your day job You’re the one I sing about I don’t need a reason To love you Whatever version of you I have got the masterplan I don’t need a reason Ohh Ohh Last night in a blue imperfect dream I saw Bowie sing to me He said “Everybody’s looking for themselves In the stories that they see” And if I could just see through this And be less of a cyborg Being amidst of all this beauty And the terrifying knowing That this too shall come to an end As everything will Hey there Angel in your day job You’re the one I sing about I don’t need a reason To love you Whatever version of you I have got the masterplan I don’t need a reason Ohh Ohh I don’t need a reason Ohh Ohh I don’t need a reason I don’t need a reason I used to spend my days Googling how to talk to people Now all I do is watch the rain Heavy classic rain I used to spend my days Thinking, hoping people won’t hate me Now I just watch the rain Heavy classic rain

Driving to a sunrise I’m forever just a lover Bleeding but I won’t die I keep praying for fate to align Driving to a sunrise Untied Waiting for us to collide Everyone’s alone here But I’m forever just a lover In subjective heavens Subjective hells Your hands Ooh Breathing in the thought of you Ohh Uncertain vapour twilight helix Ohh Breathing in the thought of you Ohh Uncertain vapour twilight helix Driving to a sunrise I’m forever just a lover Bleeding but I won’t die I keep praying for fate to align

I don’t know how I don’t know how long I can hold on In a circle Of what is left of Me and you And now that it’s another game If the world is ending Could you share with me our last strawberry? If the world is ending Can we just enjoy the view? To leave it all behind Oh To leave it To leave it all behind Oh To leave it To leave it all behind Oh To leave it To leave it all behind Oh To leave (Ahh) I could believe it I could believe I could believe I could believe I could believe it I could believe I could believe I could believe I could believe it I could believe I could believe If the world is ending Could you share with me our last strawberry? (I could believe, I could believe it, I could believe) If the world is ending Could we just enjoy the view? (I could believe, I could believe it, I could believe) To leave it all behind Oh To leave it (I could believe, I could believe it, I could believe) To leave it all behind Oh To leave it (I could believe, I could believe it, I could believe) To leave it all behind Oh To leave it, oh To leave it all behind Oh To leave (Ahh) (Ahh) Indestructible Mike Do you want to hear the songs that we’re playing? Indestructible Mike Do I treat you worse because I know you know That you can take it? (Ahh) (Ahh) (Ahh)

storm 04:08
Mysteries of an atom Looking into the abyss Seeing all the infinite fun Do you trust yourself, babe? Structure of an innocence Theory of random walks You need to show up, babe Even if it looks like a storm I wanna feel who you really are I wanna see who you really are I wanna feel who you really are You need to show up, babe Even if it looks like a storm Ohh Ohh Another fancy disappears Disorder of appearances Diving into instinct Organic and yet digital Micro-dosing ego death Soon it will be later and You need to show up, babe Even if you feel like a storm I wanna feel who you really are I wanna see who you really are I wanna feel who you really are You need to show up, babe Even if you feel like a storm Oh, even if you feel like a storm As I feel I’m watching you change And I feel I’m watching you grow As it feels I’m watching you age And I know And I know I will do the same Ohh You need to show up, babe Even if you feel like a storm Oh, It’s a blessed day Ohh It’s another blessed day
