Night Time, My Time
Night Time, My Time is the debut studio album by American singer Sky Ferreira, released on October 29, 2013, by Capitol Records. Originally set to be released in 2011, following the singles "One" and "Obsession", Capitol repeatedly delayed the album, with many recording sessions that were held for the album going towards EPs As If! (2011) and Ghost (2012), the latter featuring critically acclaimed track "Everything Is Embarrassing".
The final result was primarily written and produced by Ferreira, Ariel Rechtshaid, Justin Raisen, and Dan Nigro, and in a departure from her previous work, musically, it is an indie rock and synth-pop album that explores 1980s pop music, 1990s grunge, and various styles of rock, while its lyrics convey themes such as failure, love, and anger. The album cover, shot by film director Gaspar Noé, controversially depicts a topless Ferreira in a shower. Night Time, My Time received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sound; it has been recognized by numerous media outlets as one of 2013's best albums and was ranked by Pitchfork as number 43 in a list of the 200 best albums of the 2010s. It was a modest success commercially; it debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 45 and on the Australian Albums Chart at number 40.
Night Time, My Time was preceded by the digital release of its lead single, "You're Not the One", accompanied by a music video. Capitol Records also issued "24 Hours" and "Boys" as free digital promotional singles, and although it was not released as a single, a music video was filmed for the album's title track.
After releasing the tracks "17", "One", and "Obsession", Ferreira announced that her debut studio album would be released on January 11, 2011. However, Ferreira's budget was dramatically reduced which led to the cancellation of the record; such release was substituted with the extended play (EP) As If!, which was released on March 22, 2011. In November 2011, Ferreira announced that her debut studio album would be released in 2012, with a lead single planned to precede its release that February. The following month, she revealed that she was currently in the studio, working on her debut album with Jon Brion throughout 2012, and "possibly" with Shirley Manson and Greg Kurstin. In early 2012, Ferreira renamed the LP Wild at Heart, and confirmed "24 Hours" and "Swamp Girl" would be included in it. Another song, entitled "Lost in My Bedroom", surfaced online that March. After releasing the music video for the track "Red Lips" in June, she stated that she had renamed the record once again, changing its title to I'm Not Alright. The album was also briefly referred to as I Will.
Ferreira began working with Ariel Rechtshaid, whom she contacted and met after Rechtshaid had heard "One" and subsequently "liked" Ferreira's Facebook page. After her single "Everything Is Embarrassing" unexpectedly became popular on indie-oriented music blogs, Ferreira released another EP, Ghost, on October 16, 2012. In early 2013, Ferreira intended to release an album composed of a mixture of tracks she had written and recorded with Brion and those she had written and recorded with Rechtshaid. After the album experienced more delays, Ferreira decided to keep recording with Rechtshaid and co-producer Justin Raisen in order to make the album more cohesive in sound, dropping the Brion-produced tracks from the record. After her record label refused to fund the album's recording sessions any further, Ferreira did so herself, with money she had earned from her modeling career to cover the costs of recording and equipment for these sessions. A majority of the album's content was completely recorded, mixed, and mastered in just a few weeks during August 2013. On August 29, 2013, Ferreira posted a photograph on her Facebook page indicating that the record was complete.
Night Time, My Time is an indie rock and synth-pop album, exploring different musical styles of those heard on Ferreira's second EP Ghost (2012). While the latter had a more "relaxed" sonic atmosphere—featuring electropop, synth-pop and acoustic styles—the album incorporates 1980s pop and 1990s grunge, while also drawing inspiration from 1970s art rock and 1980s psychedelic rock, new wave, and post-punk. The songs occasionally include guitars and "hard-hitting", as on "I Will" and "You're Not the One"; however, the album incorporates diverse music genres, including new wave on "Love in Stereo" and "24 Hours", and ska on "Kristine". Amongst other elements in the album's songs, are arcade game samples. The atmosphere of the album was said to evoke records of Best Coast, Garbage, and Siouxsie and the Banshees with "distorted tracks".
Ferreira, who mostly sings in a low register, explores a multitude of lyrical themes. A prominent one is failure, provoked by record label manipulation and oppression. Ferreira stated that the record was her try at getting the listeners to "know [her]", and further said that in the record, she felt like herself and that she had control over such lyricism. However, another scope of themes is present on the record, such as love, inconstant relationships and feminism. Her personality is reflected through an array of states of spirit—frustration and anger are contrasted with vulnerability, "redemption" and self-confidence. Night Time, My Time was named after lines spoken by Laura Palmer in the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992); Ferreira would later star in an episode of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017).
Jacques Peterson from Popdust recognized grunge and new wave music elements within "Boys", while Mike Wass from Idolator described the track as a "guitar-pop tune". Annie Zaleski from The A.V. Club stated that its lyrical content sees Ferreira "optimistic about love" after having found her ideal boyfriend.
