Dark Night Sweet Light is the fifth album from Australian hip hop duo Hermitude. It was released on 15 May 2015.[2] The album peaked at number 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
Prior to its release, the duo said, "I feel like this record is more stripped back than a lot of music we've made before. It's not like James Blake minimal but it's definitely more simplified. The title is Dark Night Sweet Light [and] it's a night record, city lights, up moments but some melancholy drifts throughout".[3]
At the AIR Awards of 2015, the album was nominated for Best Independent Album and Best Independent Dance/Electronic Album.[4] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015, the album was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Independent Release and Best Group, while Mitch Kenny was nominated for Engineer of the Year and Luke Dubber and Angus Stuart for Producer of the Year for their work on this album.[5]
At the J Awards of 2015, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[6]
