I’ve got a quatro digit IQ, so I already knew it was coming out tonight. It was the only thing that made any sense given the evidence of my own goddamn eyes.

Caught the second half live. Waiting for NTS to publish it so I can listen to the rest. Great work with the sound design and music choice!

Psyched. The Hellhouse video was a Night Shift bit too, right? That’s one of my favorites you’ve done.

I misread the Patreon post, so when 9pm came around I was already enhanced, flailing around the EG twitch page, crying at why I couldn't find it... 😖

I worked the night shift long ago for a few years. I was on way too many drugs to hear anything but the tunes cranked up on the boom box and the voices in my head. Wasted youth.

I would put it anywhere between 03:00 05:30. Maybe sometimes as early as 02:00 even

I start work at 4am. My work is noisy, so I don't really hear these different strange sounds. But I do enjoy having the roads to myself and blasting my commute out since I'm driving 100mph.

Hey. Tune into NTS Radio tonight at 9PM ET for the Night Shift show. We'll be on for a couple hours broadcasting from our cabin in the woods. Things have been strange around here lately, got a feeling it's going to be a real weird night up here. But we'll have a ton of great tunes to help keep us from unravelling. See you there.

We did one of these earlier in the year which was fun as hell, so it's a real treat to get to do it again. Huge thanks to my guy Diamondstein for making it happen. If you miss it live it should be available to stream on NTS afterwards.
About Night Shift:
Anyone that's ever worked a "night shift" (bars, hospitals, taxis, etc.) knows that there's a strange time of night, usually around 4:30-5:30 am, when the most subtle sounds of the world seem extra dramatic. The example I usually use is the sound of a lighter dropping at a gas station. Or the sound of wind through palm trees. The kind of sounds that you don't get the chance to hear when the rest of the world is aroused, but in the context of more ambient, experimental, and dark music, is inspiring and suggestive. It's the music of film noir, Miles Davis, and Edward Hopper paintings, but also early AM radio classical music, Boards of Canada, Sunn 0))), Headless Horseman, Wolves in the Throne Room, whatever. Night shift always takes on the flavor of the guest's preference but is built around that time of night, and the music that makes you think or feel it.
