The Nothing People's second album hit vinyl in 2009. On Late Night the band's sound shifts moodier, darker, and creepier. Hints of Dream Syndicate's Karl Precoda, the later head-screwed work of Scott Walker, the bad vibe side of Syd Barrett, and bits from that obscure subterranean world where psych met glam on a downward loop infects the record. This album does sound like a late night, on a deserted highway, maybe somewhere around the farm town of Orland, CA. We thought Late Night a very special record. The band's many fans and reviewers felt the same. Like Anonymous (and Soft Crash, which followed), Late Night mobbed the year-end lists. Being that Late Night is a favorite in the S.S. Records catalog, we decided to put it on CD and that is what we've done. Along with the ten songs that appeared on the original vinyl (including a great remake of Syd Barrett's 'Late Night'), we've included six more. Three of the songs previously appeared on now hard-to-find 7"s, three haven't been heard before. Included in these songs are covers of Roxy Music and Fuck. The CD issue of Late Night is packaged in the digipak format, using the original art work by Ilth.
