“Night Talks is adding a little funk-tinged indie to your playlists this month” - Idobi Radio "['People Pleaser'] oozes with confidence and demands that you sing along" - RIFF Magazine "Led by the magnetizing and sonorous vocals of Soraya Sebghati alongside guitarists Jacob Butler and Josh Arteaga, Night Talks have a penchant for creating joyous rock anthems." - Grimy Goods “There’s a dramatic melodic quality in her vocal delivery that genuinely gave me flashes of Kate Bush. Not because Night Talks sound like some retro throwback act trying to cosplay the ‘80s, but because it sounds like Sebghati understands how to inject emotional movement into a melody line the same way many of the great art-pop vocalists of that era did..A sleek, emotionally intelligent indie-pop track with enough groove to pull you onto the dance floor and enough emotional honesty to make you stay there." - Blurred Culture

Today, Los Angeles-based indie rock/pop trio Night Talks return with "Window Shopping," an upbeat groove that spins insecurities, self-doubt and comparison into an electric, dynamic jam. With its sparkling melodies, crisp vocals and thumping bassline, the band masterfully embodies the universal, roller coaster-like experience of questioning what success looks like and if one is on the right path. Celebrate the new track live with the band at LA's Gold Digger's on September 1. Lead vocalist Soraya Sebghati shares, "'Window Shopping' is about impostor syndrome and the price of comparison. When you reach a point in your career where your friends are surpassing you and you feel left behind, you start to feel small in your own accomplishments, wondering if you really belong or if you'll ever make it." LISTEN "WINDOW SHOPPING" The band reunites frequent collaborator Eric Palmquist (Bad Suns, Tate McRae, half•alive). On the track's production process, Jacob Butler (guitar, synth, vocals) adds, "We had the skeleton of this song sitting around for a while, with just the triplet guitar rhythm and a drum beat. It wasn't until pretty late in the process that we figured out what the song should be about, and came up with that bassline which really brought the whole song to life and made it groove."

In May, Night Talks shared the funky, splashy track "People Pleaser," produced by Palmquist, that sees the group commit to putting themselves first. RIFF Magazine wrote the track, "oozes with confidence and demands that you sing along," and Blurred Culture raved that it's, "a sleek, emotionally intelligent indie-pop track with enough groove to pull you onto the dance floor and enough emotional honesty to make you stay there." LISTEN "PEOPLE PLEASER" WATCH "PEOPLE PLEASER" Officially formed in 2014, Night Talks is made up of three life-long friends Soraya Sebghati (vocals), Jacob Butler (guitar, synth, vocals), and Josh Arteaga (bass, synth, vocals) who were all born and raised in Los Angeles. Night Talks' debut record Same Time Tomorrow was shared in February 2022, followed by a sold out show at The Troubadour. The band has garnered support from several leading tastemakers, including KROQ's Locals Only, GrimyGoods, Buzzbands LA and more. Buzzbands LA raved about the band's debut album, stating, "Same Time Tomorrow,” is a vibrant plea to rise above a wound from the past." They've been featured on playlists like Fresh Finds, All New Rock and All New Alternative and in November 2025, the band shared cinematic, shimmery single, "Shadows On The Run." Melodic Magazine wrote of the track's masterful "mixture of rock guitars and glittery synths..[pulling] from both the sparkly and sharp ends of the indie rock genre." Night Talks has supported Couch, Circa Waves, Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade), Wine Lip and Kississippi. Last year, GRAMMY® Award-nominated genre-defying songwriter, producer, and guitarist Cory Wong was featured on the band's single, "Targets" after Sebghati appeared as a surprise guest at several shows on Wong's tour in 2024. Plus, earlier this year, the band stopped by Jam In The Van for a full set. Now, with renewed energy and big plans ahead, the group is gearing up for more. Connect with the band on @night_talks on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube and stay tuned for much more from the rising trio.

ABOUT NIGHT TALKS Night Talks started out as three kids who wanted to start a band, which sounds like the start to any great coming of age movie. Unsurprisingly, the trio is made up of filmmakers and film lovers — now adults, in the same band. Born and bred Angelenos Soraya Sebghati, Jacob Butler, and Joshua Arteaga create sparkly alt-rock that's inspired as much by films they create and consume as by LCD Soundsystem and Queens of the Stone Age. Their songs are defined by cinematic stories, danceable grooves, and intricate sonic layers, transporting you to a loud, lit up dance floor whether you're listening in your car or at a show. In 2022, Night Talks released their debut LP, Same Time Tomorrow — including KROQ's #1 Locals Only song of the year "On And On" — which was produced during the pandemic and allowed the band to create a whole visual world of music videos for every track on the album. 2025 saw Night Talks return to the studio to go deeper, taking a fresh, pop-forward approach to their songwriting and album conception. As they take their unique blend of synth pop and arena rock across the country, Night Talks continues to build their loyal following, winning over fans of every genre night after night.
