we are night tapes

Night Tapes are a London-based trio, Iiris Vesik, Max Doohan, and Sam Richards, crafting immersive, genre-blurring music that drifts between dream pop, ambient, and electronic textures. Their debut album portals//polarities(2026) captures sounds from around the world, from Estonian swamps to Mexican mountains, transforming them into deeply atmospheric soundscapes.

Originally formed through quiet late-night sessions in a shared house, the band developed a signature process blending field recordings, tape textures, and intuitive production. With over 34M on their biggest song “drifting”, international touring including a recent 20 dates headline tour in US and Canada, MME Award won and support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, NME, Clash, and more, Night Tapes have emerged as one of the most distinctive voices in their genre.

"They make transportive music. The type of dream pop that makes gravity lose its grip. They lighten loads and soften the edges, making us feel like we are levitating... just gloriously buoyant.  Honestly, if I'm having a heavy day bearing a load they take the weight off my shoulders. It's pure magic what they do!"
