Biography

Occupying the twilit space between Ariel Pink's lo-fi avant pop and the codeine beats of Chromatics, Nite Jewel's debut album, Good Evening, brought a glorious new slant to the golden age of disco and became an after-hours go to from the record shelf. Recorded when Ramona Gonzalez was still a college student, Good Evening was originally released on Gloriette Records in 2008. The album ... Read more in Amazon's Nite Jewel Store

Editorial Reviews

California native Ramona Gonzalez first began her transcendent minimalist dance-pop escapades in the privacy of her own home in Los Angeles with the aid of her multitrack cassette recorder. She very quickly developed her own unique sound, taking inspiration from European experimental electronic music and U.S. R&B pop, and began performing live in the L.A. area under the moniker Nite Jewel.

... that sacrifices almost everything that made Nite Jewel so appealing in the first place.

I read in a past interview Gonzalez say she wanted to focus on the vocals more in her next release and that's where this fails miserably.

The appeal Nite Jewel had for me wasn't necessarily in the murky '80s lo-fi ethereal sound of her music - which I loved - but in her mysterious indecipherable Liz Fraser-esque vocals and curiously vague lyrics - when I could understand them.

"One Second of Love" is the album where Gonzalez is saying "I'm a singer!" and she isn't bad. It's just that a lot of the overall appeal of the music is now gone - especially on the slow tracks which are the worst offenders here. I would have loved it if she muddied up those vocals, reverbed them out a little and then push them into the background.

I'm all for artists growing and experimenting with their sound with each release but now the very thing that made Nite Jewel so cool is missing here. Making awesome music is her forte but having her vocals front, center and crystal clear isn't. I found it better when the vocals were an actual element in the overall sound.

The title track really is the best song and a smart choice for the first single. Yet after repeated listens it's the only track that I remember.

If you're a fan of her first album "Good Evening" or her ep releases, especially "Want You Back", then you may be disappointed.

3 stars for the title track alone. If you're a huge fan of Nite Jewel (which I still am - Ramona I'll see you at the Crocodile) then it would serve you well to check out Maria Minerva too.
