The Nearing - Disconnect

Middle of a Summer Night

The Nearing - Slips Away

The Nearing - Bad People

Our metropolis has a dark & rhythmic atmosphere. It’s evident as various souls wander across concrete & steel platforms daily, footsteps beating between breaths. Screaming trains slither underground, buses roaring from block to block, and millions of voices rumble the world to dust. Technological life has choked society into a microchip, where life & death is one deafening click away. But the silent thoughts & the anonymous gazes: they are the loudest of all, churning like an ocean on fire. This relentless ebb & flow is what we call The Nearing.

 

It is the realm where the lonely whisper of wet asphalt is your serenade. Burning cold winds whistle melodies through broken hearts. Tough, sweet love is found between the cracks of the lonely sidewalk. In this metallic world, our humanity is plastic, our legacies are glass - but we still dance to the music of it all. This is the sound of invisible life existing in the bright, cold grid of the city.

 

Drawing upon various influences like Billy Joel, Kraftwerk, Nightmares on Wax, The Police and Portishead, The Nearing is a musical collaboration between singer/musician Franco Olivo and DJ/producer Rahsaan Lucas. The debut EP, “The Invisible City Vol. 1”, features 6 tracks and is available worldwide on Wednesday February 18th, 2015.
