Brooklyn, NY band NoNight share a new single today from their forthcoming album NN3. The synth pop based group features members of Mercury Rev, The Silent League, Sleep Maps and Pearl and The Beard. Hear/share "We Never Say Goodbye" on all DSPs HERE.

About the single, NoNight explains:

“We Never Say Goodbye” is a synth power ballad about nostalgia and loss, a song Justin and I wrote about getting older and not seeing the people you love for long periods of time. The idea for the song started with the lyric ‘We never get as much time as we want’. There’s something universal about that line and how it applies to every age. Right now Justin and I have small kids and it felt like we were watching them grow too fast. I think this song was an attempt to reconcile the feeling and the reality of aging.”

The song was originally written on acoustic guitar, but after getting vocalist Tess Posner involved, the song morphed into the beat driven ballad you hear on the album. “Tess’ voice is so strong and fragile at the same time that the meaning hits even harder and we wanted to give her a bigger track to let it really soar."

The band recently shared the official video for lead single "Are You Out There?" via Spill Magazine HERE. (And via YouTube HERE.)

NN3 is a drug fueled excursion into sweaty dance clubs, rain soaked city streets and all night bars. More dance focused than previous albums, these songs focus on the throb and pulse of drum machines and synths. This is music for late night driving and riding on subways at 1am. The city going by in a smear of neon lights and half seen lovers in windows and alleys. The pulse of a city in love with itself.

NoNight was founded in Brooklyn, NY in 2013. A loose collective of artists held together by founding members Justin Russo (The Silent League, Mercury Rev) and Ben Kaplan (Sleep Maps, founder Lost Future Records), they have recorded two previous records focused on 80s synth pop with cinematic flourishes. For their new record the band is joined by singers Jeremy Lloyd-Styles (Pearl and the Beard) and Tess Posner.

NN3 will be available digitally on January 24th, 2025 via Lost Future Records. Pre-order HERE.
