In this week’s Vinyl Cut "New vinyl reissues" newsletter I noted that Sky Ferrera’s Night Time, My Time is getting a new repress. I got this copy from Capitol Records online store during one of their sales about a month ago; I assume they still have it in stock. Two years ago this record was wildly expensive, having been out of print for a decade.
I remember when J bought this, probably a couple of months before his death. He was pretty pleased that his offer of somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 was accepted. When he did his listening post his comment was that it was pretty noisy, as if surprised. Not to questions J's pop bona fides, but I can't help but think he paid for the spicy cover. I know I had always been curious about it for that reason.
But he was right, it has a grungy punky electro-pop vibe. 2000s era Brooklyn/Silverlake vibes. It's got hooks for days. She sings the hell out of it. (No mumbling whispers as a vocal style.) I can see why this is a cult favorite.
