Nantes

"Nantes take us on an incessant, gently melancholic journey."

Band reveal new single and mini-album

The damage is already done, with the end of the set marked by half-hearted applause and three seconds of awkward silence that sees everyone exit en masse as soon as the GTFO music comes on.

"I actually lost both my parents to cancer about six months ago, so a lot of the lyrics came out of that."

It allowed them to make their debut album, according to their frontman

"Now that we’ve had the latitude of recording an album, we really feel a freedom to experiment a lot more, in a constructive way. Even Dave’s songwriting has matured a lot from those first songs."

“I’m really proud of the album. Whenever I write stuff I’m super critical of myself and it’s just the way that I am; I end up hating everything a few weeks later."

Droning is a good way to describe Nantes’ sound in general, as the deep and drawn out vocals can appear dull at times; however, this is not an insult. Indeed the majority of Beings Being is in this vein.

They've also just released a new music video.
