Texan rising indie rock outfit Night Cap today share their stomping, infectious new single ‘Like That’. Finding power in hindsight, the track navigates the aftermath of emotional disillusionment; the spiralling realisation that someone you care about does not reciprocate your intention. “You’ve got me in your pocket, I’m gonna stay, You find it funny when I’m upside down,” the chorus sings, layered over an anthemic, indie dance arrangement that nods to bands like Two Door Cinema Club, Wallows, and Phoenix.

“This song came from a place of disorientation, when you give love to someone and find yourself unsure where it actually goes or how it makes its way back to you. It was written in the middle of trying to understand that imbalance, and how something that once felt clear can suddenly feel unfamiliar”, shares vocalist Ryan King.

‘Like That’ marks a glimpse into the band’s upcoming second album due 26th September, It’s Happening, a vivid exploration of heartbreak, growth, and emotional reckoning. Executive produced by Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, James Bay, City and Colour), the record chronicles self-evolution, relationships and identity, moving effortlessly through the turbulence of life but taking a moment to pause and find a calmness in the unknown.

“This album is about change, not just what’s happening around you, but what’s happening inside,” explains bassist Alex Alfonso. “There’s no clean resolution here, just movement, and the decision to keep going even when it hurts.”

Known for their signature blend of heartfelt melodies, dynamic instrumentation, and nostalgic yet forward-thinking sound, Night Cap has become one of Texas’s most talked about independent acts. Formed in Austin in 2017 after meeting at college, the band quickly gained attention with their breakout debut single Everest, which has since surpassed 3 million streams. Since then, they’ve built a loyal following through sold-out shows across Texas, appearances at Austin City Limits, Luck Reunion, Float Fest, and a standout live session with Audiotree. Along the way, they have shared stages with acts like Dayglow, Mt. Joy, Wilderado, and Krooked Kings.

Now setting their sights on their upcoming album It’s Happening, Night Cap are embracing both personal and collective growth. The record marks a bolder, more mature sound; one that trades youthful idealism for emotional clarity. It offers a dose of reality and a new perspective, tracing the kind of growth that begins when you stop running from what hurts and start learning from it.

In vocalist Ryan’s own words, “This album is not about closure, it’s about movement. About what it takes to keep growing when the past still lingers in the room”.
