Late Night Tales: Jordan Rakei is a DJ mix album curated by New Zealand-Australian musician Jordan Rakei for Late Night Tales series, released by Night Time Stories on 9 April 2021.[1][2] It marks the 20th anniversary of the series.[3] It includes cover versions of Radiohead's "Codex" and Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should've Come Over", and an original song by Rakei, "Imagination".[4]

Background

[edit]

Jordan Rakei has said that in this album he tried to "distil a series of relaxing moments" and also "help [his] friends’ stuff get into the world."[2] He chose songs from artists he grew up or collaborated with which influenced his music."[3] The album features artists such as Charlotte Day Wilson, Connan Mockasin, Joe Armon-Jones, and C Duncan.[4][3]

Reception

[edit]

The album received favorable reviews. Josh Abraham of Clash wrote, "[Late Night Tales: Jordan Rakei is] an all-round beauty of an album. The 17 track production is clean-cut, but knows exactly how to keep the listener intrigued", and "it’s the perfect cocktail of forgetting about the current climate".[1] Tania Ogier of Backseat Mafia wrote, "Rakei’s wonderfully layered sound is testament to his talent as a gifted songwriter", and "the collective narrative of the 17 tracks flows as a relaxing, meditative soundscape – at times kooky and chaotic, then soulfully therapeutic".[3]
