Not much sleep was had last night as things were swirling, and let’s not forget that I actually did everything I had to do today. There was little distraction minus personal things. I gave Nest’s Hadal all I had between heavy eyes and cat naps. Music made for the intellectuals, this record was above me but I listened anyway.
If you were to categorize music like you did colleges, Nest would wind up a UC – it’s got the higher test scores and is more actively involved. It doesn’t mean it’s better than others; it just comes across that way. Songs like “Father Adder” reminded me of Silversun Pickups expect for there was never any moment when we picked it up, while ones like “A Moving Swamp” added to the scholarly feel. Searching through the EP I only leaned on one song time and time again; “Stairs-Stares.” It was the only one that ever made enough noise for me to consider it my top choice. If you can, make sure to get the acoustic version of that one as well.
Just like with higher education, you have to go with what fits you. If you’re into bands that are more respectable like Brand New and Mew, than apply all you can to Nest. If this sounds like something you’d be into, make Hadal your top choice. It’s out now on Broken Circles, so check it.
