Nightports are back with the third in their series of collaborative albums – Nightports w/ Tom Herbert follows 2018’s Nightports w/ Matthew Bourne and 2020’s Nightports w/ Betamax.

It sees musician-producers Adam Martin and Mark Slater team up with Tom Herbert, who made his name as the bass player in Mercury Music Prize-nominated bands Polar Bear and The Invisible, and has become an in-demand collaborator and session musician, including work with Adele, Lana Del Rey and most recently The Smile.

Nightports and Tom Herbert ably demonstrate the versatility of the double bass. It’s an instrument that rarely gets the main focus in an ensemble, but one of the most striking aspects of the album is the emotional resonance in Herbert’s articulate melodic lines. That is certainly evident on ‘Arcs’, which is out now and accompanied by a sleek black and white video courtesy of Leeds based film makers GOOD BOY!

Nightports w/ Tom Herbert is released on April 29th digitally and in the UK and Europe. The physical release in the rest of the world is June 3rd. Pre-order now on limited edition vinyl LP, limited edition CD and digital via Bandcamp. As with the previous album, the vinyl is packaged in an intricate die-cut sleeve, designed by Split.
