Years & Years - Night Call

“My criteria was that it had to make me move and dance and feel good. The only time I was getting to move during lockdown was when I was making music,” explained Olly Alexander to DIY of ‘Night Call’ - his first Years & Years release as a solo endeavour. And though musically, the project feels no less vital and sparkling due to its diminished numbers, companionship is evidently something that’s been playing on Olly’s mind as well: yes, ‘Night Call’ is record that celebrates the joyous power of the club, but underneath almost every pulsing beat is a barely-concealed ode to getting your rocks off in some form too.
