The song was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and mixed by SebastiAn and finds the spooky, distorted, zombie vocals of Kavinsky perfectly counterbalanced by the sultry purr of CSS’ front kitten Lovefoxxx. The single ‘Nightcall’ is composed of 4 tracks that represent the sensual, epic and romantic French sound like never before. After discovering the world with his red eyes, Kavinsky retreated to his base camp to work on his debut album. This is when his French robot mates in Daft Punk invited him to join their Alive’ Tour, and A-Trak put together an American Tour in his now repaired Testarossa. Crowds gathered to witness the miracle: despite being dead, Kavinsky was still alive. Since then, he has shown up all around the globe, playing his music to fellow humans. He re-appeared as a zombie in 2005, with his 12-inch, Teddy Boy. Kavinsky died in a car crash in 1986, whilst driving his beloved Testarossa. Now Kavinksy emerges from this late-night haze with the helping of friends, bearing a collection of covers, remixes, and second takes for yet another drive through the midnight hours. Since the film’s September release, this single’s Youtube video has climbed to over 7 million views, and has been on repeat across an expanse of playlists, always fueling the after-after party with the slow burn of glossed synth echoes. Nicolas Winding Refn’s recent film, “Drive” operates on a level of cool that's hard to articulate with just words it takes a snippet from the movie, take the opening credits backed by Kavinksy’s ‘Nightcall’, to really grasp it’s effortless debonair.
