- Nighstalker (single 2025) | Electric Seagulls
Nighstalker (single 2025) by Electric Seagulls, released 10 October 2025
Electric Seagulls’ Nightstalker (2025) is a mixture of urgency, shadow and haunting power. The track begins as a massively swelling bass pulse moves with urgent darkness. Hovering notes exude haunting luminosity as a flaring synth creates contrasting warmth. The tense melody grows in power while the rhythm is insistently heavy. Drums tap while the surging bass bubbles and a sharp, string-like sound cries out with a melody full of portentous shadow and menace. I enjoy the mixture of melancholy and danger that this track emanates.
The beat is forceful as sharp drums retort and a dazzling synth rings out like a sitar. Underneath the higher part, slowly swirling tones intermingle while the battering undercurrent presses on. Sinister notes float with deadly strength before the high synth sobs mournfully and rapidly vibrating tones add an unsettling quality.
The twanging tones embody dramatic sensations, turning up the tension as massive bass heaves below the slicing guitar. A hypnotic pattern creates entrancing feelings while trembling notes leap through the music with uneasy energy. The low end is threatening while the high notes tumble and fade into silence.
