“Here Comes the Night” by Big Search – A Song Feature


      The rhythm section first establishes and then maintains the perception of advancement – “Here Comes the Night.” The lyrics inform us that it’s an ominous march – “Under the pillow, across the sea, you will not find me, the enemy.” Nope, not “Game of Thrones.” But perhaps it should be. The song is from Big Search.

     Big Search is the project of Matt Popieluch in Los Angeles. In the song “Here Comes the Night,” he is joined on vocals by Ed Droste, the frontman of Grizzly Bear. When talking about the song, Popieluch explained:
  “’Here Comes The Night,’ too, can whirl a mental state into wonder. It’s an all-too-resonant ode to political anxiety, a post-election state in which both real and imagined catastrophe are constantly looming. The weather and the behavior of animals before a storm, being on the precipice of an unknown chasm, are driving elements in the song. [The song] is also about resistance.”

     Big Search will visit San Francisco on June 8, 2019. Cafe du Nord * will host Pure Bath Culture and Big Search.
