Night Tapes started out as evening jams between housemates Max Doohan, Sam Richards and Iiris Vesik in London. Night Tapes take inspiration from both their lived experience in the world that they can see and touch, as well as the less tangible spiritual and metaphysical realm.

To date, the band have released two EPs: “Dream Forever In Glorious Stereo” and “Download Spirit”. Their debut single “Forever” has reached over 5M plays, and their music has been championed by Turtlenek, Paste Magazine, Pigeons & Planes, DUMMY, At The Barrier, David Dean Burkhart and Majestic Casual channels. Having signed to Nettwerk in 2022, Night Tapes will release their third EP ‘Perfect Kindness’ later in 2023 and just performed at SXSW.
