Nighttime at The Folklore Rooms

Nighttime, the musical project of Eva Louise Goodman, is performing at The Folklore Rooms on Tuesday 11 August 2026. It is a chance to see her live set, which focuses on the psychedelic folk sound she has been developing across her recent releases.

Her most recent full-length album, Keeper Is The Heart, arrived in 2023 via Ba Da Bing! Records. The production on the record was handled by Rick Spataro, who is also known for his work with the band Florist. This collaboration seems to have been a significant part of the album's reception, with Bandcamp selecting it as 'Best New Music' and describing the result as a 'mystical tapestry of psychedelic folk'. The music itself is quite varied in its approach, pulling from genres like psych-pop, girl group arrangements, and Americana. It is a blend that Goodman uses to create compositions that feel fluid and dynamic rather than static.

When listening to the material, you can hear the influence of artists like Vashti Bunyan, Sibylle Baier, and Pentangle. These are classic touchstones for folk music, yet the way Nighttime puts these elements together results in a sound that is often described as 'bizarrely modern'. It is not just a revival of those 60s folk sounds; it is an attempt to use that foundation to build something that fits into a contemporary context.

The event is being hosted at The Folklore Rooms, which you can find at 12 North Street, Brighton, BN1 3GJ. The evening is scheduled to run from 19:30 until 23:00. Tickets for the show are £15.02. If you are planning to attend, keep in mind that the venue has a strict 18+ policy for all evening events, so make sure you have your ID ready. It is a straightforward setup for a Tuesday night, with the music starting early enough to get you through the evening without running too late into the night.
