        Release Notes:

        The son of a genetic engineer, Dave Hartley has eschewed his father's
        profession but decidedly inherited his analytical proclivities and love
        of "the lab." As Nightlands, Hartley is a scientist trying to create and
        understand art through analytical process. Here, with sophomore album
        Oak Island, his follow up to 2010's superb Forget the Mantra, new
        questions are explored: what happens when the human voice is layered
        exponentially? Is the sum more man, or more melancholy machine? In
        seeking these answers, Nightlands takes us on a spirit quest through
        lush forests down into The Uncanny Valley. Each distorted, silver-voiced
        melody is wrapped in the sounds of 70s AM gold -- plucked acoustic
        guitars, trumpets, dulcimers and hand percussion. In using these pop
        touchstones, the songs become something close to memories, the faded
        feelings that tide in and out of you when conjuring the past. To this
        end, virtually every chord played on Oak Island is a major-7th, the most
        nostalgic harmonic grouping. Seals & Croft produced by mid-70s
        beetle-voiced Brian Eno. Crosby, HAL and Nash.

        Beneath the analytics and technical experimentation lie 10 pop songs
        about sadness and love; this silvery robot has learned what it means to
        be human and paid a great cost. The elegant, lunar bossa-nova of album
        standout "So Far So Long" with its distant trumpeted satellite signals,
        offers a slow, confident lilting and wilting, as Hartley considers
        traversing space and time.

        Hartley is a prolific sideman in many notable Philadelphia bands and the
        extraordinary bassist of The War on Drugs. Listeners expecting a simple
        side project, however, will be surprised by the boldness and scope of
        his vision--Nightlands is the Chuck Close painting to the The War on
        Drugs' De Kooning.
