Night Friends started on a cold October day in 2003. The idea came from wanting do something that was instrumental, but push the envelope more into etheral territories. The name was originally "The Bats" but I found out later that there was a very good band out of New Zealand that already had that name. I was at the post office in Philadelphia one day and I noticed a stack of stamps giving tribute to various species of bats called "Night Friends". I immediately picked that for the name of the project because of a love for bats and I also liked the meaning of it being perhaps things that only come out at night or harmless ghosts with a melodic rasping that soothe the soul.

"http://www.myspace.com/nfriends - Sadly there’s only one posted track on their my space site (but damn its good) by Austin, Texas based Night Friends better known to friends, acquaintances and we assume - the IRS as Justin Sweatt, ’pneumaura’ is that cut. Night Friends it seems began way back in 2003 - originally called the Bats until it as discovered there was a New Zealand based ensemble of the same name he quickly re-thought the name by way of a relatively loose kind of logic after spying a postage stamp depicting a bat as part of a postal series of ’night friends’ - simple eh? To date several releases have eked out into the public conscious all sadly out of print with the exception of the current ’decorations in a ruined city’. ’pneumaura’ - incidentally not on the aforementioned set - is a gently beguiling after lights out slice of nuzzling down tempo dreaminess not so dissimilar in texture to Yellow 6 / Manual - softly spun Durutti Column styled signatures aimlessly drift lost in the moment to be braided by the delicate lining of an orbiting spectral suite a la early ISAN all anchored by a repetitive and seemingly out of placed ‘movement’ era New Order underpin which at the finale congregate and implode into sheens of shoe gaze-y fuzzyness. Does it for us."
