‘Rainy Night’ evokes precisely the same imagery, soundscapes, and emotions that you would imagine a song of its name would. The smooth and seductive lo-fi instrumental piece from French Lobster has all the bells and whistles in its arsenal. A devilishly smooth jazzy electric guitar section gives it the emotional pull, ambient noises add to the environmental feeling, and hazy yet crisp production all combine to make the perfect instrumental piece to listen to as you’re bringing your day or night to a close. It feels like it almost evokes a sense of finality and conclusion to whatever you’re doing, making it hard to just go again after listening to it. There’s a weight to the piece, one that’s brought to such vivid life and evocatively so as well.
Intricate and dexterously pieced together but ever so easy to let yourself fall into.
