DOWNLOAD: Night Beats – Dial 666
“Dial 666” by Night Beats could go on for another ten minutes as far as we’re concerned, but its less than two-minute running time makes it all the more appealing for playing hard to get. It’s kind of astonishing that the song is off of their forthcoming self-titled LP, out June 28 from Trouble in Mind, and not, you know, the summer of 1967, with the kind of murky, overblown production so prevalent on the Nuggets boxset. That’s not to say the song is a genre experiment, or even a loving tribute to the golden age of AM radio, just further proof that sometimes all you need is three chords, guitar, bass, drums—and maybe an Ibanez Tubescreamer—to make a killer pop song.
