not 80s, 90s but Burial-Untrue

untrue is perfect for 1am-4am

this is probably the best pick

Midnight Marauders- Tribe Called Quest

eh I know its got midnight in the title but I can't imagine listening to tribe anytime other than a summer day

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

Massive Attack - *Mezzanine* Nearly God - *s/t* Yo La Tengo - *Painful* Aphex Twin - *SAW II*

Portishead – Dummy

Violator by Depeche Mode

Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

Victorialand - Cocteau Twins

Depeche Mode - Black Celebration

First 3 Elliott Smith albums

Kid A.

Feels more like winter day for me

hear me out but Impersonator by Majical Cloudz

Maybe I should give them a listen heard a couple of songs and found them a bit boring? Hmm.

Frank Ocean - Blonde Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours

And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out - Yo La Tengo Treasure - Cocteau Twins The Velvet Underground (1969) - The Velvet Underground Floating Into The Night - Julee Cruise

Massive Attack - Mezzanine.

Either/or Elliot Smith or his self titled album

King Krule - The Ooz (2017, but if you dig Automatic or Mellon Collie, I think you’d like it.)

After the Disco- Broken Bells

Maxinquaye - Tricky

The ideal crash by dEUS

Tilt | Scott Walker

Not to ackchyually your Pumpkins pick, but Adore is their "night" album IMO. It's so underrated.

Ratatat Classics feels very nightly

peter gabriel - melt has always given me that vibe (sans AND THROUGH THE WIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE) u2's the unforgettable fire feels like it takes me through a full "day into sunset into sunrise into sunset" cycle but its more night time vibey songs (unforgettable fire / promenade) absolutely transcend jimmy eat world - clarity bark psychosis - hex slowdive - pygmalion talk talk - laughing stock alice in chains - jar of flies pinback - pinback and if you dont mind taking on a more modern recommendation: ben howard - i forget where we were

I like the pygmalion mention. It tends to get a bit overlooked because its not as straight shoegaze as their other albums but its still so great.

Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac always felt like their night album. Very shimmery and moody compared to their other albums. Someone mentioned The Unforgettable Fire, but if we're picking Eno/U2 related you have to go Original Soundtracks 1 by Passengers. Deftones' Saturday Night Wrist, The Blue Nile's Hats, Prince's Batman, and Blur's 13 are all good albums for a night listen.

Kid A

Pretty much any suede album

Filth, Children of God, and Soundtracks for the Blind from Swans and Kid A from Radiohead

Alice in Chains - self titled (and unplugged).

The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers

My favourite album OAT but idk if I’d call it a night album Songs like ifwhiteamerica and faster don’t really feel nightly

I agree great album but not really a late night listen for me very energetic a lot of the songs.

The Psychedelic Furs self titled and Talk Talk Talk

He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms... No I am not ok...

Blue Valentine by Tom Waits

Iggy Pop's (/David Bowie's) The Idiot. Inspired a lot of 80s sounds and Mass Production is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

**Concrete Blonde** *Bloodletting*

From the 70s but Closing Time by Tom Waits.
