The Night Café’s first steps came bathed in sunshine. All poppier than a fizzed-up Fanta melodies, this summer’s ‘Together’ single was a fresh-faced introduction to an equally bright and breezy group. On new track ‘Mixed Signals’, though, they’re succumbing to a darker side. “It’s so much harder now you’re not mine,” admits the skulking hook. It’s still buried amongst chirruping guitar lines, but this time around there’s a vicious side that rears its head when they let it all loose.
Exciting new Liverpool teens The Night Café have come back swinging with a pop-tinged summer anthem called ‘Mixed Signals’. The story of a misguided kid that goes off the rails, ‘Mixed Signals’ is a journey through the heartbreak of a shattered relationship punctuated by the band’s signature intricately spun guitar riffs and sweet vocal melodies. The track will feature on a new AA-side release coming this October. Following their buoyant performance on the BBC Introducing Stage at T in the Park this summer, the band have also announced a huge UK tour which features headline dates in December, as well as support runs with Reading darlings Sundara Karma and The Hunna in September and October.
The Night Café: Mixed Signals
The Night Café: Mixed Signals Lyrics:
I think I’ve gone too far this time,
I think I need to let it go,
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
I just got fucked and you made the decisions,
You went and changed and you didn’t need me
It’s so much harder now,
It’s so much harder now you’re not mine, mine
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
And now you’re not mine, mine
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
I just got fucked and you made the decisions
Times change now you’re moving on,
While I sit smoking lonely cigarette in an empty room with the lights on,
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
I just got fucked and you made the decisions,
You went and changed and you didn’t need me
It’s so much harder now,
It’s so much harder now you’re not mine, mine
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
And now you’re not mine, mine
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
I just got fucked and you made the decisions
Times change now you’re moving on,
And I’m left smoking
Times change now you’re moving on,
Empty rooms with the lights on
And now you’re not mine, mine
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
And now you’re not mine, mine
I didn’t think that I didn’t need you,
I just got fucked and you made the decisions
