Nocturnes (sometimes styled as NOCTURNES)[1] is the sophomore concept album by British composer Daniel Liam Glyn, released on 18 September 2020 via Caravan Boy Records.[2] Glyn describes the album as 'a collection of electronic, ambient soundscapes influenced by my dreams and inspired by the enigmatic thrill of night-time' and was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[3] On 14 May 2021, Glyn released a special edition of the album titled Nocturnes (Expanded Universe Edition).[4][5] This release included all the original tracks plus 5 exclusive new tracks.[6]
David Reddish from Queerty described the record as "ominous and optimistic - perfect for dancing or chilling" and cites it as "a perfect soundtrack for moving into Autumn".[7] Nick Randell from SNS Online commented on the shift in style from Glyn's previous work, describing the album as possessing an "urban, dystopian vibe" with tracks that were "melodic, complex and thought provoking".[8]
