Nicamus Share Merry Single
I don’t think Nicamus is quite the household indie rock name, but maybe that’s better off for all of us trolling small blogs like our own; you get to keep something really special to yourself, even if you’re trying to share it! Their latest single is an ode to fellow Portland artists Meredith Zall, and it is a pretty special tune that I’ve been cranking out in my head all day. It actually works on sort of two different levels, for me at least. I love the light jangle, just sort of hanging out, crisp and sharp in my speakers…it’s that angular punk connection. But, the vocals almost seem to take on a bit more of a sense of longing and fervor, especially when they stretch to the higher octaves. It all comes together so beautifully that I just had to let you in one one of my secret favorite bands.
