Thinking Out Loud

With a quickly cultivated following on the Austin live circuit, indie-R&B outfit Nané stay true to passionate positivity on an anthemic debut single called “Always On My Mind” which arrived November 1st, 2020. Led with a cheeky, charming music video directed by Rebecca Mendoza that shows romance at its most authentic self, it features former Vine star Jed Lee in the ideal awkward role as love for his dream girl blossoms in real time. Lead singer Daniel Sahad wonderfully explains, “I think we’re conditioned to pursue love. Sometimes we find it in the wrong place, but even the wrongest of places have something to celebrate.”

Lyrics:
Split me right from the start
One half deserving more than the other
Lean into stranger thoughts
Stronger than I could dare ignore
Once more once more once more

Something I could be the first to know
If you’d give it one more chance
I’d give all that I was sure you’d hoped
But I know it’s not the answer

Now you’re dulling it down
With every vain attempt to relate
As every match holds a fire
In all the histories burnt out of place

Something I could be the first to know
If you’d give it one more chance
I’d give all that I was sure you’d hoped
But I know it’s not the answer
No way in love for what was
No way in love for what was
No way in love for what was

Something I could be the first to know
If you’d give it one more chance
I’d give all that I was sure you’d hoped
But I know it’s not the answer

Something I could be the first to know
If you’d give it one more chance
I’d give all that I was sure you’d hoped
But I know it’s not the answer

I can’t help it [No way in love for what was]
I want more from it [No way in love for what was]
I can’t help it [No way in love for what was]
I want more from it, from it
[If I dream alone is it real love?]
I can’t help it
[No way in love for what was]
I want more from it
[No way in love for what was]
[If I dream alone is it real love?]
I can’t help it
[No way in love for what was]
I want more from it, from it
[If I dream alone is it real love?]
I can’t help it
[No way in love for what was]
I want more from it
[No way in love for what was]
[If I dream alone is it real love?]
I can’t help it
[No way in love for what was]
I want more from it, from it

For What Was

"Psychonaut is the first single off of mr. Gnome's upcoming double LP, The Day You Flew Away, available October 16, 2020 on El Marko Records.

The Day You Flew Away

Psychonaut

“Definite fan of these kids, they have that special something” – BBC Fresh on the Net
“INDIGOS have managed to blow us away with their sonic spectrum” – Bristol In Stereo

INDIGOS, the latest export of Bristol’s vibrant and significant live music scene, are pleased to announce their signing to premiere shoegaze bastions Club AC30 with the release of their heavenly self-titled debut EP.

An effortless blend of 90s post-punk grunginess mixed with layers of psychedelic guitars and irresistible pop hooks makes ‘INDIGOS’ an enchanting prospect, steeped in that ever popular juxtaposition between dark existential angst and blissful summer licks.

The 4-track was produced by Ben Johnson and IDLES guitarist Lee Kiernan with individual parts recorded from different studios, born as much from the bands financial limitations as anything else. Within these constraints they were able to pull together from various sessions and with the help of multiple collaborators, crafted something that sounded unexpectedly polished and extraordinarily expansive.

Opener ‘Silhouette Of You’ enraptures with its dreamy duel harmonies, marching, anthemic beat and blistering chorus while follow-up and lead single ‘I’m Healed’ goes to ever darker depths. ‘Animalistic’ leans into their cool slacker grooves and nonchalant delivery before euphoric closer ‘Out Of Body’ displays their more intimate stylings beautifully paired with a brutal cascade of riffs.
Lyrically the writing is diverse but always viewed through a poetic lens, exploring themes of self-reflection, projection, nostalgia, dystopia and more. They tells us that “our lyrics very often grow out of streams of consciousness as we bounce off each other’s ideas. We usually don’t know what a song is even about until it’s very nearly finished. Rather than trying to force a song into a preconceived ‘box’, we feel that creativity thrives on letting go of attachment to the end result, leaving the song to take on a form of its own, guiding the next steps we take, and essentially writing itself. Each song is as much a mystery to us as it is to anyone else, and that’s the way we like it.”

Recalling the likes of Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins and The Brian  Jonestown Massacre, their songwriting knack and live reputation piqued industry interest early on, with two Dot to Dot Festival  appearances, a support slot with Cherry Glazerr and 6 Music airplay.

Reach

Calling out to nowhere
I’ve been trying to listen back
Holding up the building 
shaking like I'm worth it
Hiding under eyelids
Living in the black again
Gets a little draining 
When no one’s complaining

Drowning in my sleep again 
I’m sinking in the sand  
I’m going under  
Punching through the pressure 
I’m out of breath again 
I’m going under

Taking up the pages over the Atlantic
I've been writing this and that
Hiding on an island
Drinking like I'm lawless
don't imagine going back 

As the days get longer  
And the cards are all laid out  
You don’t owe me now, you don't owe me nothing.  
As we get older  
And our cards are all laid out  
You don’t owe me now

I'm Going Under

Ghosts Around Us

Here's a new track for you all. 
It was inspired and written during a snow day here in Portland in March. With everything going on in the world, looking out the window felt eerie, almost like the end. Wanted to jot that feeling down.
Stay safe and look out for each other. 

My new album Still, will be available on July 31st.

Lyrics:
You’d better be waiting cus you’ve got another thing comin’ to ya
Fresh off the kill and too far afield for any of us to go

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

We’re both keeping our feet wet not to condemn what we’re running from
Let’s make a deal and kick up our heels or is it too late for that

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

I don’t know which way you’re leaning shifting your weight like an untethered sail
High on caffeine and sick of this scene you’re caught in your own trap

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

You’d better be waiting
