Winterpark Art Exhibition - Track 12. The night beetle

Track 12... The Night Beetle is the first single from Sunday Morning.

OK, I confess... i'm obsessed with the Beatles... and with Sunday Morning I really wanted to create an album that flowed like the B-Side of Abbey Road, where each track seamlessly flows into the next, despite the diversity. This track, is a homage of sorts to the Beatles, with my attempt to channel George Harrison's guitar solos.

Reviewed in the Age EG, Craig Mathieson writes: "WINTERPARK have spent several years on the periphery of the local indie-electro scene but with the lovingly crafted vintage pop of The Night Beetle (***), Matt Ridgway's project sounds ready to take the spotlight with the forthcoming Sunday Morning album.

Accomplished film maker and video artist Gavin Youngs, shows off his rather somewhat twisted sense of humour to create an awesome video work entitled "Night Light" that has to be watched in its entirety!

Gavin writes of his work: "The 1:56 mark of The night beetle sparked the real inspiration for the piece. Referencing a television ad from the 80’s the work looks at what lights your sleep."

FYI... Gavin has previously worked with Winterpark to create the amazing video clip for Cold Feet, off the first Winterpark album One Night Alone.
