Like a gospel music for urban atheists, Weeknight has created a spiritual haven for arpeggiated synths, retro drum machines and roof-raising vocals to co-exist together. It’s somewhat unclear what GOD it’s lead monks, Holly and Andy are worshipping, but it’s pretty clear it’s not far from where The Raveonettes go to church.
Their first EP ‘Dark Dark Lights‘ (the band’s less than a year old) contains three hard-hitting meditations geared toward this sort of dark transcendence. Equally appropriate in the dark or with the lights on, this is a mysterious and heavy band whose path will be interesting to chart. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
