The single ‘Nightcall’ is composed of 4 tracks that represent the sensual, epic and romantic French sound like never before. After discovering the world with his red eyes, Kavinsky retreated to his base camp to work on his debut album. This is when his French robot mates in Daft Punk invited him to join their Alive’ Tour, and A-Trak put together an American Tour in his now repaired Testarossa. Crowds gathered to witness the miracle: despite being dead, Kavinsky was still alive. Since then, he has shown up all around the globe, playing his music to fellow humans. He re-appeared as a zombie in 2005, with his 12-inch, Teddy Boy. Kavinsky died in a car crash in 1986, whilst driving his beloved Testarossa. Now Kavinksy emerges from this late-night haze with the helping of friends, bearing a collection of covers, remixes, and second takes for yet another drive through the midnight hours. Since the film’s September release, this single’s Youtube video has climbed to over 7 million views, and has been on repeat across an expanse of playlists, always fueling the after-after party with the slow burn of glossed synth echoes. Bump these tunes, kids.Nicolas Winding Refn’s recent film, “Drive” operates on a level of cool that's hard to articulate with just words it takes a snippet from the movie, take the opening credits backed by Kavinksy’s ‘Nightcall’, to really grasp it’s effortless debonair. This should satisfy anybody looking for a cool sounding soundtrack to the late night excursions in the car. I recommend that you get the first two tracks only, because the remixes are well…remixes and not good ones at that. Flaws include general redundancy, but it won’t bring the album down too far for whoever’s listening. The listener has a fun experience on their hands with this one these 80’s electro pop inspired tracks will have you pumping your fists as if you were the champion of the city. In essence, Kavinsky’s third disc entitled “Nightcall” proves to be an illustration of how something from back in the day can sound original even in nowadays’ culture. This track dances through the ears with 80’s electro swagger, leaving the listener feeling the need for speed. Samples from what would appear to be a cop show of sorts, this track makes the listener put the pedal to the metal and bump so even the deaf, senile elderly folk of the neighborhood can hear it. The title track makes the listener feel a brush of confidence while this one is total badass-ery. Instead, in my opinion, the highlight of the LP is “Pacific Coast Highway”. Surprisingly, its film feature doesn’t make it the best track on the LP. The main highlight of the album isn’t the title track. He gets a bit redundant at times, but that proves to be a small issue rather than a big one. This is Kavinsky’s 3rd album his first two went relatively unnoticed by critics and fans alike, making this release a smart one due to it being better than his previous albums. There’s a myriad of French electro-house producers out there but Kavinsky stands out from the pack with his nostalgia laced jams and his fresh songwriting that doesn’t rely too heavily on bass or redundant drops. He records most of his material on a Yamaha DX7. Kavinsky’s production scheme is that of 80’s electro pop opulent and massive. I’m glad to say that because of “Drive”, I found a great batch of songs. The track, titled “Nightcall”, was stuck in my head immediately.
I’m not an electronic music buff in the slightest I’ve only listened to IDM (Aphex Twin, Autechre) and british Big Beat bands like the Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, etc. This song got famous simply because of this film and it’s not like I would have heard it otherwise. The film’s intro featured an ethereal, lush electronic track by the French electro-house producer, Kavinsky. I thought it was a really impressive film the acting was wonderful, the cinematography was stellar and the music…damn, the music was my favorite part.
