Mystery Waitress - Bright Black Night (Vinyl)
Wellington’s Mystery Waitress has announced the upcoming release of their second album, 'Bright Black Night,' a guitar rich but deceptively light offering, which possesses the perfect touch of weight and darkness — precisely when it's most needed. The new album comes four years after the band’s debut, ‘Nest’, and will be out on August 2nd, and available digitally and on gatefold vinyl LP via Flying Nun Records and all good record stores.
‘Bright Black Night’ — the sophomore album — is a natural progression and descent into dirtier riffs, new instrumentation and a more refined sound. The album moves through a whole range of moods and imagery, from heavy to sway-worthy, but never strays from being supple, tasteful and divine. Expect soaring, gritty guitars and ethereal vocals atop of steadfast grooves.
As it stands in 2024, Mystery Waitress consists of songwriter and guitarist Tessa Dillon, Olivia Campion on drums, Xanthe Rook on bass guitar, and James Morgan on synths and guitar. Together, they craft a dynamic sound that transitions seamlessly from melancholic to fervent, and from gentle to abrasive alternative rock. Within their upcoming album, Bright Black Night, a distinctive and captivating middle ground is discovered, blending the gentle, exquisite songcraft of Tessa with the amplified vitality of the band.
Bright Black Night is out digitally, on gatefold black vinyl on Friday 2nd August, 2024 via Flying Nun Records and all good record stores.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
