  • Bio

    .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Nightchoir - Don't Want To Look.. from ..1157Records.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Nightchoir - Glass Tiger.. from ..1157Records.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. Nightchoir is an Auckland based indie rock band with a beautiful steel guitar twang. Their songs draw on several musical genres, including alt-rock, alt-country, pop, and folk. .. .. The first single, Glass Tiger, has been sent to radio stations around the country. ‘Glass Tiger’ is the carpe diem postcard inspired opening track from Nightchoir’s forthcoming debut album, 24 Hours Of Night, which is due for release on May 17th, 2010 via ElevenfiftySeven Records. .. .. It is quite a shift in musical styling for independent punk and hardcore label, ElevenfiftySeven, to present an indie pop/rock record to the world. When Dean Cameron, the owner of the label, was asked “So Dean, has ElevenfiftySeven gone soft, or what?”, he replied; .. .. “SOFT?? - Not at all. Was I surprised when Mike and the Nightchoir lads approached me? SURE! But after listening to the album and discussing the project ahead I knew that ElevenfiftySeven could add something special to this release, something that maybe other labels couldn't. Oh and don't worry there is plenty more HARD records to come!” .. .. The seeds of Nightchoir have been rattling about Mike Hall’s brain for many years throughout his many band’s lives and his lives in many bands. .. .. From hardcore band ‘Balance’ in the late 90’s to sweet indie pop-sters ‘The Brunettes’ in early 2000’s Mike has seen and experienced a wide range of band styles. And for just under a decade Mike has been playing bass in top NZ rock band, Pluto. .. .. At a time of catching breath in between band commitments, and encouraged by fellow songwriter, Steve Abel, the Nightchoir songs resurfaced. Mike called on some of his most trusted musician friends, Matthias Jordan and Michael Franklin-Browne to develop his ideas. (The trio have played together for nearly a decade as the rhythm section for Pluto). .. .. Mike emphasises, “It turned out to be much more than my mates helping me. The songs took on a new life and Matthias brought his own songs into the mix that he’d worked up with Michael (Franklin-Browne). So yeah it really is the story of making a record turns into a band!”. .. .. Recording began at Roundhead in 2009 and a year of tweaking with the engineering skills of Kerry Furlong, mixing with Jol Mulholland (The Mots, Gasoline Cowboy) and mastering by Greg Calbi at Sterling Studios in New York, has now prepared 24 Hours A Night for its arrival. .. .. A staggeringly beautiful album that refreshingly explores many song styles but is made coherent with the undertone of a focused vision. .. .. Nightchoir - 24 Hours Of Night. The debut album is available in stores & online NOW!!

    Hey Nightchoir, You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights.
