Nite Jewel
A four-piece band injects Romana Gonzalez' minimalist pop with a healthy dose of rhythmic fervour.
Overview
It's been four years since Los Angeles-based philosophy student Romana Gonzalez (a.k.a. Nite Jewel), then an undergraduate, started experimenting with an eight-track cassette recorder. A mellow, richly textured, lo-fi electronica emerged, over which Gonzalez's lyrics floated in obscurity.
With her second LP, One Second of Love (her first release on Secretly Canadian) Gonzalez has developed a cleaner, sleeker, more minimalist pop sound. Where before we were watching shadows in the mirror, we're now peering through sun-kissed glass.
However, on her first Australian tour, Gonzalez will be travelling with a four-piece band who will undoubtedly inject a healthy dose of rhythmic fervour into the live experience. They'll be performing originals at Goodgod on 31 January ahead of their appearance at Laneway, and fans of Kraftwerk won't want to miss Nite Jewel's interpretation of Computer World at the Famous Spiegeltent for this year's Sydney Festival.
