There's kind of a muted fidelity filtered within Cellars' otherwise iredescent "Nighttime Girl", a retro jam with a soft rock vibe deepened in its fine shading of sophistication. The song's swank production is partly attributed to Ariel Pink's contributions behind the console, but songwriter Allie Norton uses Pink's cunning recording savvy to further achieve her dazzling pop vision. "Nighttime" is Norton's attempt at trying to retrieve some shred of identity, a fine leap forward that should finally come into full view once she releases her upcoming full-length album Phases on Aptril 15th.

Until then, make sure to preview some of Norton's new material at hm157 this coming Friday, January 8th.
