A Winter Dream, Revived by the Velvets’ Children Across Time.
In a mesmerizing collaboration, Tokyo’s The Moment of Nightfall and San Francisco’s Tony Jay bring to life a winter soundscape, echoing the lineage of bands like The Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo, Young Marble Giants, Spacemen 3, The Pastels, and Galaxie 500. Their new album, Winter Dream, quietly reaches across continents and decades, weaving together the delicate threads of ambient psychedelia, largely unheard since the early 2000s.
In the heart of Tokyo, 2024, the album came to life—blending the deep, personal oscillations of these historic influences with a uniquely modern sensibility. The album captures the spirit of an ethereal soundscape, a meeting between Japan's deep-rooted indie scene, uninterrupted since the '90s, and San Francisco's own distinctively positioned underground scene. The result is a beautifully fragile, dreamlike record that transcends time and place.
The Moment of Nightfall, led by Masato Saito (Pervenche), and featuring members Yoko Satori (Penny Arcade), Yuji and Tomomi (red go-cart), Masayuki Takahashi (Pervenche, 800 cherries), and Miki Hirose (Kokyu, Smokebees, h-shallows), joined forces with Tony Jay to craft this record. Recorded over two days during Tony Jay’s Japan tour in the sweltering heat of August 2024, the resulting album depicts a haunting reflection of fleeting beauty and delicate intricacy with vocals that melt into fragile textures, Winter Dream evokes a mystical space—a world dimly lit and mysteriously fogged—rippling with reflections from the late '80s, ‘60s, and beyond. The sound, however, resists being pinned down to a specific era or place, offering instead a shimmering, enigmatic depth that feels timeless.
Winter Dream invites you to experience its world, where the frozen beauty of winter landscapes and the translucent dreams of the season blend into one.

All things freeze in time
Like when you were mine
Walking through the woods
You tried so hard to be good
Kori no mori
This morning when i read about you
I cried so hard for the ones left without you
All those years i've forgotten
Has my heart grown rotten ?
Kori no mori
Day I die I find
Feeling only about to find
Just like oh honey
A feeling so close all far away
Tell me why
Night I see the face
Etched upon my mind
Just like old grey stone
No one ever thinks about this place
Tell me why
