Uh Huh Her - Nocturnes: Redux - Goth Confetti Vinyl - Music & Performance

Writing and recording the majority of Nocturnes at their home studio in Los Angeles, Leisha and Camila drew inspiration from '70s vinyl - and each other's company. After finishing the demos, their friend Wendy Melvoin (of Prince and the Revolution) invited Uh Huh Her to continue the production at her treehouse studio in Henson Recording Studios (now Chaplin Studios). "We would just drink wine and record for hours and hours," Camila says of this time. "It was amazing. It was total freedom."When it came time to mix Nocturnes, Melvoin suggested her friend and super producer Tchad Blake (The Bangles, Arctic Monkeys, Sheryl Crow, Cibo Matto), who put the finishing touches on the record from his studio in the English countryside. "It meant the world that our fans directly supported the mixing of the album through online eBay auctions of memorabilia, vinyl, art, and even a couple private dinners, because that enabled us to enlist the powers of the incredible Tchad Blake," Cam says. The entirety of those original mixes have never seen the light of day until now, on this 2026.As they contemplated rereleasing Nocturnes with Kill Rock Stars, Cam started digging around to find the album's original mixes. "I chose Tchad's first and second mix attempts because I wanted to preserve his first instincts before we gave him a million notes," she says. This is truly how he heard it on one or two tries. The songs are longer, they're more rocked out, they're a little more raucous."Cam also surfaced a hypnotic song she'd written in 2020 called "Shook" to include on the re release, and they also put their own, electrified spin on Sonic Youth's timeless and gritty "Kool Thing."
