Niights guitarist Frankie Maraldo lets loose with some gnarly fuzzed-out MBV-inspired riffage made wobbly by the Aqueduct vibrato's touch-sensitive envelope controlled depth mode. The harder you dig in, the more pronounced the effect. More info: https://eqd.rocks/Aqueduct

NIIGHTS shift seamlessly between dream-pop and heavier melodic rock with shimmery, fuzzy layers of texture. Ethereal female vocals whispering poignant and whimsical lyrics paired with artfully crafted dynamic songwriting channels the spirit of 90’s shoegaze and early Smashing Pumpkins with an enchantingly fresh spin.
Fronting NIIGHTS is visual artist & singer-songwriter Jenna Fournier, a Las Vegas-to-Cleveland transplant who began working with songwriter and innovative guitarist/ pedal tweaker Frankie Maraldo in 2010. The two are now joined by Jeremy Dodge on drums and bassist/synthesist Jacob Chandler, who anchor and underline the sonic chaos.
NIIGHTS released their first EP, A Tangle of Arms, in 2010, followed by their debut album Whisper (recorded by Jim Stewart) in 2013, which landed them a deal with 2670 Records in Japan. After two international tours, NIIGHTS signed with Tragic Hero Records and re-mixed Whisper with legendary producer Jim Wirt for a re-release in 2015. Fournier soon returned to Japan with an exclusive solo EP in 2017 while simultaneously recording the newest NIIGHTS album with Wirt, meanwhile struggling over the loss of two bandmates. Despite setbacks, NIIGHTS pushed forward, obsessing over details in the studio and finishing a full length album that is set to come out in early 2019.
