Music for late nights
What is good music for when you're up late, just idly browsing the internet and maybe contemplating life? Night-time is probably when I listen to music the most.

Kid A has always been this album for me. I often put it on repeat if I have to be up late studying.

In terms of music that sounds good late at night you can't beat Portishead's debut Dummy. It's the perfect album for those bleary early hours.
In a similar way and keeping with the trip-hop feel, Bowery Electric's last album Lushlife hits the spot nicely. The last Joy Division album Closer also sounds brilliant late at night. The production and overall pitch-black mood gives it that eerie late night feel. |
REM's Dead Letter Office was always my up-all-night-finishing-a-project album when I was in college. It still is to a certain extent. I'm not sure why exactly, maybe because it's low-key without being something that will lull you to sleep. Being an odds and ends collection it's pretty different for REM. Lots of cover songs, some of flirtations with other styles of music and generally more raw and off-the-cuff feel overall.
One of my favorite tracks off of it, "White Tornado": |

Cat Power and the album The Greatest
It's like an album you'd think about f'ing to but you can't and you'll just crawl into the shadows. |
Coil
start with Music To Play In The Dark Vol. 1 and 2.....this IS moon musick |
The album by an emo band called Mineral, the power of failing is an album I listen to. For some reason, I could fall to sleep to it. It's quite upbeat actually.
Slint's Spiderland is another album I could fall to sleep to. Or have I missed the point? |
To me Miles' In a Silent Way has always embodied the wee morning hours:
As well as Isis' Panopticon album: And a newer album to me, but one that's gaining a lot of late night play is The Black angels Phosphene Dream: |
