Having released ‘Momentum’ earlier in the year, Night Walks look to reinforce their creative charm as they unveil new single ‘Pressure’. Keeping their vivid indie-rock flavours in check, the single brings a newfound energy to the group’s live show.
Taking cues from the likes of The War on Drugs and Sam Fender, ‘Pressure’ offers a track that is just as magnetic as it is gritty. As dancing synth toplines grip the singles’ reverb-laden verses, the track’s poetry builds dynamic, textured imagery for the soundscapes to follow.
Exploring the singles’ creative process, the band dive in, “This was probably our first truly collaborative effort as a band. It started with Sam (bass), who kinda embarked on a songwriting exercise after being inspired by this War on Drugs track, starting with a “dream,” then describing all this vivid imagery and emotion throughout the song. He sent that around and I (David, frontman) immediately remember getting inspired by it. I was travelling at the time and saved the demo on my phone, jamming along to it and writing a second verse and alternate chorus while sitting on an aeroplane. The original demo is very different, but once we played it as a full band, it just exploded into this unique jam with everyone bringing their flavour to the track.”
