Producer John Congleton, formerly of The Paper Chase, announces solo release

John Congleton has probably produced an album you've enjoyed. In fact, he's probably produced several of them. The man has been extremely busy behind the scenes of some well-known acts such as St. Vincent, Xiu Xiu, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Swans, Angel Olson, Spoon, The Polyphonic Spree, Explosions in the Sky, The Roots, Amanda Palmer, and so many more it'd make your head spin. Unfortunately for fans of his band The Paper Chase all this work meant no more of his trademark orchestrated insanity, save for an EP under the name The Nighty Nite and a smattering of teases.

Until now, that is, as those teases have taken the form of a solo release under the new moniker John Congleton and the Nighty Nite. If you are unfamiliar (then you're probably new to this website because I've previously obsessed at great length), Congleton paints thick soundscapes of creepy dissonance, punctuated with shrill guitar wails, chugging bass, and the frantic yelps of a madman. It's not for the faint of mind, but if you're in the mood to be transported to a dark and scary place and hear a creepy, morbid tale, then preorder this record here. It's titled Until the Horror Goes and is set to be released on March 25th via Fat Possum.
