Nightcall

If you saw the movie Drive, then you've heard Nightcall. It was the opening song in the movie, in fact, this song was the template for the entire pace and tone of the picture. I love this song by Kavinsky because it's really reminiscent of that synth-pop sound of the 80's. In fact, this song was the B side of the single Pacific Coast Highway which was off the EP entitled 1986, which of course was released in 2007.

Nightcall starts with a phone call and then the groove comes in. It's slow and sexy, and it sounds like what you would be playing as you drove through the hills of southern California. The vocals are provided by Kavinsky and Lovefoxxx from the Brazilian rock band CSS. Her vocals are perfectly suited for this groove, they make this song almost hard to resist, it's hypnotic.

The synths are in full effect here, so if you never liked new wave, 80's music, or synth-pop, then might I suggest you skip this song. If you loved those genres, then jump in, the waters fine. Enjoy!
