Mirror Travel - "Stoner"
from the album Mexico
In stores October 15, 2013 via Modern Outsider Records

For the past four years, Follow That Bird was one of the most buzzed about bands from their hometown of Austin, Texas. And considering how many bands are packed into that one city, that ain't faint praise. They were picked by Matador Records to be the lead single on the 2010 Austin-only compilation Casual Victim Pile, and snapped up enough accolades to have Bill Callahan have them support him on tour and ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead ask them to be the opening act on their full tour of the Western US last summer.

After that...everything went a little awry. The band's label folded, taking with it the money promised them to record their debut full-length. But instead of seeing that as a major roadblock, the trio saw it as the perfect chance to forge their own path. With it came a new band name - Mirror Travel - and a chance to further strengthen their belief in the power of the music they were creating together. Or as Tiffanie Lanmon put it, "We had to walk into the desert and do things our way."

The desert Lanmon (drums) is referring to is the one that surrounds Marfa, Texas, where the she, Paul Brinkley (bass/vocals) and Lauren Green (guitar/vocals) decamped for two weeks to record with Gory Smelley (YACHT, Eleanor Friedberger, Grouper) at Marfa Recording Studio. It was just the isolating experience the band needed to bring their album Mexico into the world.

The results? One of the most warmly engaging records you're likely to hear this year. With Smelley's help, Mirror Travel were able to more fully embrace the dreamy garage pop sound that got them to where they are today.

Opener "Sands" may give the impression of a band lost in a shoegazer wilderness, but let the punchy Nuggets-style bassline and reverb-slathered drive of the next track "I Want You To Know" shove aside all those preconceptions. The rest of Mexico flows by with the same steady gaze and attack, with occasional upticks and dips in tempo and temperature.

Looked at as a complete package, Mexico is a document of a trio who, as their name change would suggest, are taking themselves more seriously and looking at the road ahead with much more purpose and intent. Like the long drives between tour stops and the seemingly endless desert that helped inspire these songs, you're meant to drink this album in slowly, steadily, and with your eye fixed on the horizon.

Quiet Company's fourth full length record "Transgressor" is the much anticipated follow up to the critically acclaimed "We Are All Where We Belong" (2011). Recorded in 14 intense days of live tracking at the state of the art Orb Recording Studios in Austin, TX, the band captured a guitar-driven larger-than-life sound, recruiting producer Matt Noveskey (Blue October, IAMDYNAMITE) and mix engineer Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, Bowie). Muse's characteristically introspective writing style is in full force as he tells tales of love, despair, pain, and redemption, reflecting on his marriage, from burgeoning young love to a relationship tested through time and life on the road.
The result is Quiet Company's most mature, explosive, and exposed collection to date.
The band will release the record through Modern Outsider (MRI/RED) Records on Feb 24th, 2015.

Nakia covers Jon Dee Graham's "Unafraid" for the Frog Music Licensing project, Parallels - Volume One featuring Frog Music Licensing artists, Jon Dee Graham, The Octopus Project, Quiet Company, Invincible Czars, Graham Wilkinson, Tee Double, and more.

"Jon Dee's original song is so raw and real and full of heart. It's a very inspiring song to me personally. I wanted to take the emotions of the story and transport them to a place where we could hear how bands like Erasure, When In Rome, or the Human League would have taken this beautiful melody and record an anthem of confidence and strength. The track really got its wings from Michael Ramos, who was actually in a "New Romantic" band with Jon Dee in the 80s, called The Lift, so he knew the language I was speaking." - Nakia

V1
I was an outsider kid
Picked on in school for the things that I did
Momma she was crazy, Daddy was gone
Same ol' story, same ol' song

My whole life's been a shame
It's been tough, being this way
Can't make others happy and keep yourself sad
That ain't what to do, that ain't where it's at

C1
Oh, I, I've been searching and I can't get it right
Tell me what I've gotta pay to get into this fight
Oh, I, I've been lonely and my mind's not exactly right
I just need somebody to make me believe, I keep it so tight

V2
Dropped outta school, I was high
Landed in Georgia, I tell ya why
Met a girl in Moscow, God she was fine
She loved me right, she worked as a mime

But then this guy came through my door
Crumbled my walls and I fell to floor
Sent me back to Alabama, home in a shack
But I got up and now I'm back

C2
Oh, I, I've been searching and I can't get it right
Tell me what I've gotta pay to get into this fight
Oh, I, I've been lonely and my mind's not exactly right
I just need somebody to make me believe, I keep it so tight

Oh, I, I've been lonely and my mind's not exactly right
I just need somebody to make me believe, I keep it so tight
I keep it tight

V1
Lonely and empty, scarred and scared
Standing in a river of tears
You got tired of waiting for me to treat you fair
Left me after all of these years

And we had all the pieces and we built all the castles and we watched them all fall apart
And I just can’t help thinking that I’m worthless without you and I’ll die of broken heart

PC1
I just can’t deny that I was blinded by your charms
But I’d bleed myself dry to get you back in my arms

C1
I just can’t get along without you
I just can’t can’t make it on my own
I just can’t get along with you, no no

V2
Shattered and damaged, down to the bone
I ain’t got nothing to share
I see you smiling and laughing, my heart sinks like a stone
I just can’t see myself there

And we had all the pieces and we built all the castles and we watched them all fall apart
And I just can’t help thinking that I’m worthless without you and I’ll die of broken heart

PC2
I just can’t deny that I was blinded by your charms
But I’d bleed myself dry to get you back in my arms

C2
I just can’t get along without you
I just can’t can’t make it on my own
I just can’t get along with you
I just can’t make it on my own

Vocal Breakdown
Oh oh, oh oh x4

Outro
I just can’t get along without you
I just can’t make it on my own x 4

V1&#13;
Alabama, so hot in the summertime&#13;
It's so easy, to drown in the Crimson Tide&#13;
Momma told me there's more to life than this&#13;
She gave me a penny and said "boy don'tcha waste your wish&#13;
I want my baby boy to have, the things I never did,&#13;
&#13;
C1&#13;
Dream Big, it doesn't cost a dime&#13;
To build the rooms of your castle in the sky&#13;
The human heart, has no limits to it's size&#13;
So go on, dream big tonight."&#13;
&#13;
V2&#13;
Packed the hatchback with everything I owned&#13;
When I got to Chicago, I couldn't even pay the toll&#13;
Working two jobs, barely had time to sleep&#13;
No you can't get started, when you can't even make ends meet&#13;
And when I closed my eyes, all I could do is sing&#13;
&#13;
C2&#13;
Dream Big, it doesn't cost a dime&#13;
To build the rooms of your castle in the sky&#13;
The human heart, has no limits to it's size&#13;
So go on, dream big tonight&#13;
&#13;
Bridge&#13;
Now as I stand up here on this stage, singing my song for you&#13;
I think of the words that momma said, "if you don't dream it won't come true."&#13;
And when the lights come up, I close my eyes and sing,&#13;
&#13;
C3&#13;
Dream Big, it doesn't cost a dime&#13;
To build the rooms of your castle in the sky&#13;
The human heart, has no limits to it's size&#13;
So go on, dream big tonight&#13;
&#13;
Dream big tonight&#13;
Dream big tonight

I’ve been hurting baby&#13;
I drank that gasoline&#13;
It burned my soul to ashes&#13;
Brought me to my knees&#13;

Cash your check at the Dollar Store&#13;

Tell me that you love me&#13;
Look me in the eyes&#13;
Inside every shadow &#13;
Is a beautiful surprise&#13;

Remember This Christmas - Written by Nakia

Remember This Christmas
By Nakia
Christmas is coming in just two weeks,
the trees are lit and the music is playing.
Children searching the sky for snowflakes,
making their lists and softly praying.

But some of us will be lonely this year,
spending Christmas alone.
Some of us lost a loved one this year,
but their memory lives on this Christmas - a season of joy.
Remember this Christmas is more than trees and toys.

Everyone has a special memory
of Christmases gone by.
Writing letters to Santa and dreaming
of sugar plumbs through the night.

A special gift that you got one year
or maybe one that you gave
To someone you had loved so dear
its cost to you outweighed by the joy you shared that Christmas -
a season of hope.
Remember this Christmas is more than ribbons and bows.

So come all ye faithful let's gather 'round the tree
Hold our hands and bow our heads and pray for those in need.

And even if you don't celebrate, try to understand
Now more than ever the world needs Christmas -
A time for all of man to love each other at Christmas
Remember the ones you loved this Christmas
Remember this Christmas - Christmas is love.

Christmas is coming in just two weeks. I hear them silver bells... Silver Bells.

Remember This Christmas

This is an outtake from my 2009 album, "Water To Wine." 
"Touch, Feel, and Lose" had become a staple in my live set with the Southern Cousins and so we put it down on tape along with a bunch of other tunes. This one just didn't make the final cut but I will alway love singing it.

Wild Child - Crazy Bird

On season one of NBC's “The Voice,” Nakia quickly became a fan favorite, using his big grizzly voice to transform pop songs into his own unique style. While producers focused on his relationship with his husband and his struggle to make ends meet as a blues singer, what they didn't show you on TV was just how much Nakia accomplished on his own prior to the show. Long before Nakia was a semifinalist on CeeLo Green's team, he was a beloved member of the Austin music community, fronting bands, performing solo, and working with some music's biggest names. 

After the whirlwind of reality television died down, Nakia placed his focus on writing songs for his six-song EP, "Drown In The Crimson Tide," and the tour that followed. Four years later he recorded and released his acclaimed album, “Blues Grifter.” Nakia has recently been composing for film (Wasted On The Young) and TV (Skeleton Crew, Demon Doctor). Prior to the pandemic, Nakia had just begun writing new original songs and performing solo shows, and putting together a new band. When live events were canceled due to COVID-19, Nakia put more of his efforts into artist advocacy and led his nonprofit, Austin Texas Musicians, to advocate for the creation of emergency relief funding to musicians and music venues in Austin. Matthew McConaughey recently surprised Nakia with a private Zoom call where McConaughey named Nakia one of four, “Local Legends” as recognition of his volunteer work for the Austin music community during the pandemic. 

Nakia has been an active member of the Austin music community for over 17 years, and is an outspoken advocate for organizations such as HAAM and The SIMS Foundation. He has also served as the Chair of the Austin Music Commission and as a Board Governor for the Texas Chapter of the Recording Academy. Nakia is a two-time Black Fret artist grant recipient and currently lives in Austin, Texas with his husband Robert and their Bouvier des Flandres, Baker.
