Night School is a Glasgow-based music label that has been making waves in the industry since its inception. Founded by [a2776288], this label has quickly become known for its diverse roster of talented artists and unique sound.

With a focus on promoting underground and experimental music, Night School has established itself as a leading force in the independent music scene. The label's releases span across various genres, including indie rock, electronic, folk, and more.

They provide a platform for *up-and-coming* artists to showcase their work and gain recognition within the industry. This dedication to supporting new voices has earned them a loyal fan base and critical acclaim.

8th studio album Imaginations sees Nilsson directly engaging with her surroundings, engendering change and allowing love in. Recorded in her home studio in Berlin with instrumental touches provided by Katja Navarra (Saxophone) and Sean Savage (guitar), Imaginations dreams big, recasting storming, stadium-sized pop into the internal language of the solo auteur. Imaginations is not escapism, it’s a kaleidoscope and an alternative view, an agent of change.

The artist’s vision on this album is perhaps more forceful than the emotionally fragile moments of previous album Zenith, at times exemplified on songs like Memory Foam, a bright, driving pop song that belies themes of nostalgia and the past, reminding us that Molly alone can make us feel so welcome in loneliness. If there’s overt anger in songs like Money Never Sleeps, an anthem for a post-capitalist utopia if ever there was one, there’s also seams of optimism sewn into the album’s genetic code. Any revolutionary will tell you that anger alone achieves nothing - Nilsson’s mission on Imaginations is to offer some alternatives we can hold close. On Imaginations Molly is recasting her interior monologue as a prism through which to see the world, a means to live differently and to reject the status quo. We can Think Pink, change our destiny together. This is an optimism about the future when we need it the most. “New boys, new girls.. give me your smile and I’ll give you mine” Clearly, we are living through a transformation but with alchemists like Molly Nilsson, we’re never alone in the process.
