Night Thinker EP by Amy Shark
Night Thinker EP is an EP by Amy Shark, released in 2017. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Adore”, on 8 lists with a best position of #2.
Night Thinker was the EP that turned Amy Shark from a Gold Coast singer-songwriter with years of trying behind her (she had spent 2008 to 2012 releasing music as Amy Cushway) into one of Australia's new pop names. RCA put it out in 2017, and it built its reputation around a single song.
That song was "Adore", a hushed, aching slow-builder that climbed as high as 3 in the ARIA singles rankings and came in at 2 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2016. The rest of the record, "Weekends" and "Blood Brothers" among it, keeps to the same after-dark indie pop mood, the sound of somebody lying awake and turning things over, just as the title suggests. The ARIA Awards named it Best Pop Release in 2017, and the full-length Love Monster followed in July 2018 and debuted at number 1.
