Continuing the narrative begun with “America Dream Reserve” and “Black Rain,” Bals here focuses on a fleeting intersection of folk-rock tenderness, country warmth, and electronic shimmer — where slide guitars met drum machines and satin voices floated over synthetic air. The result is intimate and cinematic, evoking twilight bars and empty highways, slow dances and whispered goodbyes.

From Sally Townes’ sultry title track to Suse Milleman’s luminous “Patterns,” and the dreamy shimmer of Tessa Stivar’s “Thin Air,” *Ladies’ Night* radiates a timeless elegance. It’s an ode to forgotten voices of mid-’80s America — songs of strength, longing, and grace rediscovered beneath layers of dust and memory.
