Nite Smoke is James Drake and Jared Olson, a multi-instrumentalist duo making their own genre-bending compositions and songs. Inspired by 70’s progressive music, 60s garage rock, and 80s horror movie soundtracks, Nite Smoke creates a sound that seamlessly spans these classic decodes with a hyper-original melodic sensibility. Vintage and modern at the same time, nostalgic and futuristic, calm or chaotic, minimalist to maximalist. This production company takes pride in high quality recordings , combining classic analog hardware with modern software, they are able to conjure up warm memories with niche vintage gear. Nite Smoke has done work on a comedy show, a Seattle Art Museum exhibit, SFX for a Pearl Milling Company Commercial, as well as provided an original song/music supervision for the Dark Sky Films Horror film, Departing Seniors. Their first official short film, GHOST IN THE WOODS, is complete and will be showing during the 2026 festival season. Making a movie, television show, commercial, podcast, or a video game?
