Of the Night is the title of the third work from the British Indie rock band Guillemots released in 2006. It was available for download from the band's website, and contains four tracks.
The EP was re-released on CD and 12" vinyl on 23 October 2006 on the bands' own label, "Sea Accident". According to early reports by the band, it was to contain a DVD of fan-directed music videos, selected as competition winners. However, lack of interest in this competition led to the decision not to include such a DVD.
In October 2006, the band performed all 4 songs from this EP, in order, as part of their set at the Electric Proms with the BBC Concert Orchestra. A highlight of this was the intense performance of "Bad Boyfriend" which saw the entire band donning animal masks and climaxed with Fyfe's request of "Take me to Orchestral Paradise!". This was followed by "By the Water", a song which was a large part of the bands Autumn 2006 touring set. This song is notable because it sees double-bassist Aristazabal Hawkes perform her first song with the band as lead vocalist, rather than Fyfe Dangerfield.
