Getting yourself noticed in a crowded room can sometimes be pretty tough. It's safe to say that Ramona Gonzalez, an L.A.-based musician who records ephemeral, homemade dreambeat music as Nite Jewel, has probably had some experience with the feeling. Unfortunately for Gonzalez, it's not entirely her fault-- despite possessing a somewhat indistinct but chimerically lithe voice, the fact remains that she is still one of many artists today making ephemeral, homemade dreambeat music. What sets most Nite Jewel recordings apart is their refusal to rely too heavily on lazy ambience, often nurturing a variety of sounds rooted in retro funk and future pop. On , a new EP that Gonzalez casually claims to be a chronicle of Nite Jewel's development since the hushed, lo-fi bedroom feel of her debut full-length, , she appears to make a concerted effort to reupholster her sound and abandon some of her once too-delicate reflexes.
