"One album I would say that great to listen to is turning wheel by spellling. I've had multiple walks at night that give off a mystical and wondrous feel while still being eerie, its just an album that’s really enhanced by the night and I think everyone should listen to that album in full while traveling at night in some capacity because thats a really unique experience just make sure you’re safe ofc since the eerie vibes at times can be a bit scary if you’re walking home alone or something"

"Hello, I believe that Slipknot's Iowa and Korn's Self-Titled are good enough albums to listen to at night. Both have long songs at the end that are so dark to listen to (Iowa and Daddy)."
@Musicnerdd's second pick

"WASTELAND has genuinely put me in a different headspace. R&B usually has a night time sound, but this just cracks it up a notch."
@Scre4meh’s second pick
*said any album of his so I just picked his most recent, which I think fits the list well*

honestly surprised NFR isn't on here, a lot of the songs I feel just hit strong during the night

I like how every Radiohead album is on here except Pablo Honey and King of Limbs. I can't even disagree though I use Daydreaming, How to Disappear Completely and Videotape to fall asleep to sometimes. Also I remember actually falling asleep to Stand Tall on Awaken My Love

Showbiz - Muse
The album is so dark and cathartic that it pretty much changes completely at night.

Basically every Trip Hop album that came out from the 90s. You'll get a better experience and understanding of the style when it gets dark.

Definitely “Awaken, My Love!” by Childish Gambino. This album makes me want to take my shirt off.

Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep
Gravediggaz are dark and cold, but you do truly get a different experience listening to '6 feet deep' while walking in the dark

Here’s my 2 picks:
“Cosmogramma” by Flying Lotus. I’ve seen the music video for one of the songs on Adult Swim, and the whole album is even more of an out-of-body experience at night than it is during the day.
“Blank Face LP” by Schoolboy Q. When you’re alone and all lights are off, this album send you ascending.

"NO STYLIST" by Destroy Lonely. This record makes you feel like you're in a arcade at nightime, high as hell, having an out of body experience.

Slowdive - Souvlaki (This feels perfect for an out of body experience where you turn the lights off, close your eyes and let the music take you.)
The Microphones - The Glow, Pt. 2
American Football - AF1
Alice in Chains - Unplugged (The perfect kind of moodiness for late-night sulking.)
Machine Girl - Gemini (I feel the transition from heaven to hell throughout this album works really well for nighttime listening.)
The Strokes - The New Abnormal (I could see this working, especially out at a bar, or just relaxing, especially with the second half being as relatively mellow and introspective as it is)
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Mignonne by Taeko Onuki
It's pretty much of a jazz bar lounge vibes at night with a touch of city pop. It makes you feel mysterious, dance with your butt off, feeling good, and sometimes felt lonely and alone that wanted to held someone for just one night.

Deux Filles - Silence & Wisdom
>Listening to this album is a lot like visiting a childhood home that's been long forgotten. All of the positive vibes are there, but you can't help but feel like something is incredibly off, so listening to this at midnight only amplifies that feeling.

The entire album is a descent into darkness, it just feels natural to listen to it in the dark.
8. Slowdive - Slowdive & 9. Slowdive - Pygmalion
Ah whatever let's throw in the other Slowdive albums too why not

1. Burzum - Filosofem
I feel like this album needs to be listened to in pitch black darkness and with no distractions in order to fully appreciate it. It really makes you feel like you're in a Norwegian forest in the winter, it's a weirdly immersive experience.
2. Slowdive - Souvlaki
This really works at any time of day but I can definitely see myself awake at 2 AM staring at the ceiling while this plays.
3. Slowdive - Just For A Day:
Very calming vibes, perfect for dozing off (in a good way).
4. Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist
The balance between ethereal melodies and bone crushing guitars just hits different at night.
5. Deftones - Deftones
It's already a dark album, nighttime just makes it darker.

MAVI - Let the Sun Talk
I'm listening to this at about 8pm right now and it has made me feel quite out of it; but I was also able to focus on the album and it's lyrics. It's pretty fucking cool

A quiet farwell 2016-2018 was absolutely incredible when I listened to it at night

i think experimental hip hop albums like fantastic damage, deltron 3030, and yeezus are perfect for nighttime listens

The glow pt 2 is one of the best albums to listen to at night because it just gives off a late night, sitting on your roof, in the middle of a cabin in the forest atmosphere. The best thing is to open your blinds right when it gets dark, put on “I want wind to blow” before you realize that this album is insanely addictive and decide to put on the rest of it.
1y
Social Cues by Cage the Elephant should be in there too, because there is a very obvious eerie vibe to the whole album

Slint - Spiderland
This record is AMAZING at night. by the time Good Morning, Captain comes on I'm already sunken into the atmosphere of the dark and cold night
Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want
Manic and scary, this record resembles fear and I used to have a big fear when I was little of being watched when I walked at night and this record recaptures my fear in sound form and it's great cause I feel uneasy but when the night sky is warm and the moon is glancing at me it makes me feel really comfy
Weatherday & Asian Glow - Weatherglow
This is the most comforting record for me to listen to at night and it feels amazing
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
This record makes me feel cold and empty and it's great for a night time walk

i feel that electronic and trip hop music is perfect for night times as the mixture of gloomy yet often beautiful ambience perfectly soundtracks the feelings of late nights therefore albums like burial - untrue, yellow swans - going places, oneohtrix point never - replica, massive attack - mezzanine and portishead - dummy are my usual picks.

2814's Birth of a New Day, and t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者's 星間性交. That album just sounds like it was made to be played only at night.

Alone Alone by Hungry Ghosts, or any other non-crescendocore post-rock albums like Set Fire to Flames' Sings Reign Rebuilder or something like that. Fitting for trips at night. I played the former on my tablet for plane trips and recently on a bus trip I played Sings Reign Rebuilder and later Alone Alone.

Future Days by CAN.
The production and long form pieces make this album sound like it's the audio version of being half asleep. I remember waking up to Bel Air at 2am, possibly one of my weirdest and most impactful memories. Also, the music is just really good in general. The album cover is a pretty colour too... comfy for late night eyes.

I wanna drop some picks here real quick.
https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/485154-yuga--kotoba-no-nai-yoru-ni.php -- Listened to this at 12:30am last night with all of the lights out -- the lush arrangements with just a hint of reverb and soulful singing combine to provide a one-of-a-kind nighttime experience.
'Devotion' by Beach House -- Beach House's darkest and most mysterious album. Their albums (even Teen Dream) all tend to work really well at night, but Devotion manages to combine a nostalgic aura, slow songs, and hooks that come off like lullabies. It's perfectly soothing and sweet at night, and especially is great for really pastoral settings.
Also I can vouch for Double Negative, In The Flat Field and xx.

also spirit phone by lemon demon because 'on the same flight, i listened to this album a ton. neil is so entertaining in his quirky, eerie and funky melodies. it was as if he gave the night air emotions and made it try to kill me and make me laugh.'

selected ambient works 85-92 by aphex twin because 'richard d james makes very calming music and i do think thats what we all need at night'
loveless by my bloody valentine because 'i love this band to bits. they can make me get As on exams, look cool in front of my friends and can show me what real sleep looks like.'
nurture by porter robinson because 'once i was flying at night. planes back and forth and i had to stay focused. the flights were long and bonkers. even if i couldnt sleep, porter robinson could trick me into thinking i was asleep (no joke)'

I always have loved talking about this idea. The Mantle by Agalloch would be my pick. It's bonechilling and makes any night feel like a winter night while you sit near a fire to keep warm. One of the goated albums

Some great pics on this list! Can't believe I'm the only one picking anything by Grouper though.
