Another Henry Nowhere Ditty

At this point, it seems like I’ve shared almost all the tracks on Henry Nowhere‘s forthcoming EP, but I reckon if the songs are good, I’m going to keep sharing them out. I like how the instrumentation surrounding the vocals seems to be the song’s main focus, rather than the other way around. It’s sort of like a dreamier version of early Dent May…vocals are smoothed out in favor of maximum emotion. Rest assured, if this is your jam, there’s still three other songs from the Not Going Back EP that we haven’t shared, but you’ll have to wait until September 14th to hear those!

Chilled Pop Track from Henry Nowhere

We’ve already toasted to Henry Nowhere when he first announced his latest EP, but he’s followed up that announcement with this brilliant late night chill out. A driving guitar line propels the song throughout, occasionally balancing on the edge of jangling. It all works over a simple rhythm line, giving Henry plenty of room to drape his smoky baritone atop the entire mix. For my two cents, I love how it walks the fine line between uplifting spirit and late night relaxer…makes it easy to adore no matter the time of day. This is definitely promising for fans with the EP on the horizon.

Bedroom Pop from Henry Nowhere

California native Henry Nowhere has spent the last several years as a member of Day Wave, and while a paycheck is all well and good, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to craft his own tunes. His first single has him working over this casual bedroom beat; it’s surprising how the mere mention of his locale evokes waves in the movement/propulsion of the beats. He throws in this light guitar line, more dreamy than jangle, though perhaps meeting in the middle ground of the two. Be on the lookout for his debut EP real soon…I’d happily take five more songs like this any day.

Let Henry Nowhere Brighten Your Day

After a slew of some heavier tunes, I’m ready to switch gears a bit with this new song called “Don’t Care Where” from L.A. via Oakland based artist Henry Nowhere. What if The Drums made lo-fi pop in their bedroom? It would sound a bit like this. You’re in store from breezy, bright, and sunshine filled pop music. Easy listening if you will.

Henry Nowhere will release a new 7″ digital EP on September 8th featuring this track and one other. Pre-order from Sleep Well Records now.
