LA/ATL-based Goodnight Insomniacs (GNI) is the creative spirit of independent singer-songwriter Mark Tillman. Heavily influenced by equal parts folk, Americana and post-punk, among others, Goodnight Insomniacs subtly shifts genre, extracting paradoxical timelessness from the rock n roll continuum.
GNI's second full-length Blast/Bless was recorded at Dave Barbes Chase Park Transduction (REM, Drive by Truckers, Chris Martin of Coldplay Bright Eyes, Deerhunter and more) in Athens, GA and producer/engineer Ben Holsts studio in Avondale Estates, GA.
Tillmans arrangements are steeped in the gothic nuance of old time folkies and bluesman, yet taut with a bow of modern pop sensibilities. GNIs eclectic repertoire resonates behind Tillmans dynamic and soulful vocals, delivering cryptically poetic lyrics of introspection and inspiration.
The 10-song "Blast/Bless" features talented fixtures from Atlantas local music scene: Bassist Daniel Winn (Hot Young Priest); Drummer Mark Carbone (No River City, A Fight to The Death); CJ Bargamian (A Fight to The Death, Myssouri) on Omnichord; Nathan Green (No River City) on keys; and multi-instrumentalist Ben Holst (Love Tractor).
