**Seattle indie rockers Black Nite Crash announce new album, tease first single ‘
The Take’**

_“Slow and brooding, their mixture of psychedelia and rock, with this steady yet
mysterious backdrop and consecutive male-female-vocals, is a winning formula, producing
an inescapably transcendent vortex of sound”_ ~ **[Amplify Music Magazine](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2famplifymusicmag.com%2fpremiere%2dseattle%2dindie%2drockers%2dblack%2dnite%2dcrash%2dannounce%2dnew%2dalbum%2dtease%2dfirst%2dsingle%2dthe%2dtake%2f&umid=cada1ee7-e171-4f8c-b943-9bf47a11991d&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-61a406bcab342785f7979fabb63f74a2d037b230)**

in mid-October. To quench your sonic thirst for now, they present the lead track
[** ‘The Take’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2fSfALZOefLTE&umid=cada1ee7-e171-4f8c-b943-9bf47a11991d&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-8990a7277cd6acb61836e0b91c5b50218ba0548e),
a storyteller-led pulsating noir singalong with a trippy silhouette-laden video 
directed by Jim Biggs with assistance from James Stone.

Formed in Seattle twenty years ago, Black Nite Crash has, over the years, involved
more than 30 members around **Jim Biggs**, the last remaining original member. Yet
somehow, the band has maintained a coherent sound and vision throughout.

Born of the desire to do something more simple and direct than the myriad Radiohead
wannabes flooding the indie and alternative airwaves at the time, the band embraced
loud guitars, memorable hooks and solid pop tunes with simple arrangements, which
have guided the band in their compositions through to today.

Today Jim Beggs (vocals, guitar) is joined by **John Parker** (bass), **James Stone**(
guitar),** Tony Zuniga** (drums) and **Claire Tucker **(guitar/vocals).

“This album was started before the pandemic and then endlessly delayed until now,
which speaks to the perseverance of the band. This is the band’s fifth full length
in nearly twenty years of existence, and it looks to be the start of a period of
more frequent releases as we work through our backlog of unreleased recorded songs,
not to mention the surplus of new material we’re working on even now,” says **Jim
Biggs**.

“After a long career of creating fuzzed out noise pop with wall of sound guitars
somewhere between psychedelia and shoegaze, we’re branching out into more subtle
dynamics and stretching our sound to include different stylistic flourishes – everything
from Murder Ballads to Baggy pop tunes. There’s also something about it that sounds
like the wide open west; for a band that lives in the soggy Pacific Northwest, the
sound of the desert has long seemed to haunt our music (to be fair, the band, as
constituted on this release includes Tony and Sharim, both from Las Vegas and Jasun
is from Arizona). All of that being said, we are not completely abandoning our fuzzy
pop tunes.”

Work on the** ‘Washed in the Sound with Black Nite Crash’ LP** began before the 
pandemic, the songs a reflection of a band finding its feet again, with (then) relatively
new members **Claire Tucker** and **Sharim Johnson** putting their imprint on this
batch of songs. Then can lockdown before tracking could be completed.

In that time, longtime bassist **Jasun Hadaway**, who made a big contribution to
the album, left the band. As things opened back up, we began to slowly progress 
towards completing the album. Sharim left the band just as longtime collaborator**
Matt Brown (Trespassers William)** finished the mixing and the band handed the recording
to mastering genius [**Adam Straney**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fbreakpointmastering.com&umid=cada1ee7-e171-4f8c-b943-9bf47a11991d&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-503993d327043276216c8c27a06d00a88e930e24).
The result is the most diverse set of songs the band has ever released, combining
the band’s standard fuzzed out guitars with some newer flavours.
