Composer Joe Wong Announces Debut Album NITE CREATURES
Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist, podcast host (The Trap Set) and composer Joe Wong (“Master of None”, “Russian Doll”, “The Midnight Gospel”, “Ugly Delicious”, “Awkwafina is Nora From Queens” and more…) has just announced Nite Creatures, his full-length solo debut, due out May 15, 2020 via a newly signed deal with Decca Records. Nite Creatures is a collection of 10 baroque, ruminative, songs that evoke the psychedelic heyday of the legendary UK-based Decca label, living in the pops and crackles between the Summer of Love and the start of the Seventies – the acid-tinged era of Scott Walker, Marianne Faithfull, Love, the Zombies and Fairport Convention. To mark the release of Nite Creatures, Wong will take his kaleidoscopic show on the road with stops at Lodge Room in Los Angeles, Neumos in Seattle, Le Poisson Rouge in New York, World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, Lincoln Hall in Chicago and more. All tour dates are listed below.
