Night Time, My Time album review

If there was ever a sound that embodied a sense of trying to carve a place for yourself into the world, Sky Ferreira’s new album, ‘Night Time, My Time’ would be it.

From the crackly, faded sound of the first track, ‘Boys’ to the last track which shares its name with the album itself, there is definitely a strong sense of feeling lost buried underneath the stodgy 70’s rock, electronic love child instrumental on this album.

If you were to combine ground-breaking female led bands such as Joan Jett and The Blackhearts with the hazy sound of Lana Del Rey, this is where you would end up. All of the tracks on the album stand up on their own with extreme individuality with ’24 hours’ holding a sound which almost mirrors Marina and the Diamonds.

It is a very messy album but almost as though it has been done on purpose if that’s even possible; almost like a Jackson Pollock painting or your holiday suitcase which you force as many things as you possibly can inside because you don’t want to leave that one pair of flip flops behind even though they have reason to be there.

Ferreira may not be emerging as the artist the music industry set out for her to be. Instead, this girl is carving her own path and standing up for herself, something which is rarely seen today and which will take her far in both life and the industry.
