“WHO KILLED THE MOONLIGHT?” AVAILABLE FOR POSTING
Nicole Atkins released two remixes of songs from her critically acclaimed latest album Slow Phaser. Eddie Mars (Blood Orange, A/JUS/TED) did the remix for “Who Killed the Moonlight?” available HERE for posting. Tim Love Lee (Tom Vek, Groove Armada) did the one for “Girl You Look Amazing.” Atkins has released two incredible videos for the album versions of these songs. NPR premiered the stunningly animated “Who Killed the Moonlight?” which was directed by Ilinca Hopfner, who has worked with Nick Cave and Grinderman. The AV Club premiered the video for “Girl You Look Amazing,” who described the video as “A riff on modern Instagram society that plays on the idea of a person having a seemingly fabulous digital life while, in actuality, actually being kind of sad.”

Atkins just completed an incredibly successful American tour opening for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in support of Slow Phaser. The neon noir tour de force of a hi-def late-night record came out in February on her own Oh’Mercy! Records. The album marks Atkins’ most ingenious and indelibly modern collection to date. Bittersweet yet life affirming, Slow Phaser is Nicole Atkins at her confident and unpredictable best — spirited, sexy, and determinedly forward thinking.
“I wanted to make something that no one’s ever heard before,” she says, “including myself.”
On Slow Phaser Atkins collaborated with veteran drummer/producer Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Cramps, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks) and producer Tore Johannson (Franz Ferdinand, The Cardigans) – with whom she partnered on her now-classic 2007 debut, Neptune City. The album was recorded at Johansson’s residential Malmö, Sweden studio and with his able assistance, she devised a compelling new sonic approach, melding psychedelic energy, prog rock adventurism, after hours disco ambience, and the raw emotional purity of the finest country soul.
