Los Angeles dream pop band Nightjacket return with their latest single, My Only Heart, a shimmering and intimate love song that radiates warmth and devotion. Marking their second release since signing with Sonic Unyon Records, the track continues to establish their signature ethereal sound while adding a more groove-driven pulse to their dreamy aesthetic.
There’s a beautiful wistfulness to My Only Heart – a classic dream pop gem draped in lush, echoing harmonies and swirling textures. Andrea Wasse’s sweet, expressive vocals float over a sea of reverb-laden backing melodies, wrapping the song in a warm, nostalgic glow. Meanwhile, an insistent, twisting guitar line scratches around the edges, weaving through the song’s core like a restless heartbeat.
As the track unveils itself fully, there’s a breathtaking moment of repose, a near heart-stopping lull where everything slows, allowing the emotion to settle before the song surges back, hammering home its soaring melodies once more. This dynamic push and pull mirrors the track’s origins: written by guitarist and vocalist Jordan Wiggins for his now-wife, Danielle, it captures the exhilarating feeling of being deeply seen and known by another person.
It’s a song that feels both deeply personal and effortlessly universal – another glowing entry in Nightjackets evolving soundscape. With a full-length album set for release later this year, My Only Heart is a promising glimpse of what’s to come. Check it out, here
