Thank you Washington City Paper!

"Whether or not you ever set foot in that iteration of the Red Room, “Nightwalker”’s themes are resonant, especially in a city battered by destructive change. It might seem trite to mourn a bar in the midst of so much human suffering, but there is real pain in the loss of a place where you once felt safe and fulfilled. Smalley’s song deals with that pain by doing the hard work of passing through darkness, one step at a time."

City Lights: "Nightwalker" Mourns the Red Room—and Other Losses Though the bar still technically lives on on another floor of the same building, the incarnation that existed from 2001 to 2018 is gone.
