The track was written, mixed, and mastered by cln himself (a.k.a Callan Alexander), employing pruned percussion and dreamy synths for a spacey alt-pop feel. The ethereal voices of Gilligan and Alexander are propelled by carefully layered instrumentation, creating a sober foundation to explore the doubled-edged pain of breakups.
cln explains the track’s influences: “Depeche Mode was probably the main musical inspiration for the production on ‘Into The Night’. My dad always used to put their records on when I was younger, and their music has always really stood out to me.”
The Aussie creator moonlights as a conservation scientist which lends itself to his biologic sound. Researching eco-acoustics, it’s no surprise the music video for ‘Into The Night’ features a sombre Alexander alone amongst a beautiful Australian landscape, seeking solace in nature.
The single is a prelude to from cln’s sophomore album due for release in late 2022.
Until then, tune in.
