Night Melody

Night Melody is the fourth studio album by British electronic musician Ryan Lee West, performing under his stage name Rival Consoles.

[8] Writing for Night Melody began in late-2015, at the same time West's third album Howl was released.

[10] Writing for AllMusic, Paul Simpson said "The short album is relatively straightforward, with six tracks of subdued, atmospheric techno -- no filler, no beating around the bush.

"[1] Stephen Proski of Drowned in Sound wrote "Night Melody was developed as a result of the incarcerated experience of working in abject environments with digital technology: the haunting yet comforting background noise of a hard drive humming.

West, when left alone to his devices, is able to transform emotion into the esoteric, colluding synthesis into vibrant, organic swaths of sound.
