Night Tapes began as evening jam sessions between London housemates Max Doohan, Sam Richards and Iiris Vesik. Influenced by nocturnal London, their atmospheric soundscapes blend multiple genres and recording styles into fresh, boundary-pushing dream pop. The English-Estonian band has released four EPs: “Dream Forever In Glorious Stereo” (2019), “Download Spirit” (2020), “Perfect Kindness” (2023), and their latest release “assisted memories” (2024), featuring the fan-favourite track “drifting.” They are currently working on their debut album released in autumn while touring the UK, Europe and US.
Night Tapes won the Music Moves Europe Award at ESNS in January 2025.
They make transportive music. The type of dream pop that makes gravity lose its grip. They lighten loads and soften the edges, making us feel like we are levitating… just gloriously buoyant. Honestly, if I’m having a heavy day bearing a load they take the weight off my shoulders. It’s pure magic what they do!”
