Not Thinking Of Home by OUR NAMELESS BOY attempts to convey what it feels like to forever have something be a part of your life even if you don’t want it there, whether that’s through the ever-present consequences or simply reminders of a trauma, and the perceived perpetual threat of a return to those times.
After the announcement of their Debut Album coming on June 4th, the Bristol outfit announce their new single, Not Thinking Of Home, due for release on March 12th through Beth Shalom Records. Today, we’re thrilled to give you the first listen of the high energy track below!
Discussing the single, Iain Gorrie said; “The sentiment behind the chorus and mid-8 serves as a way of grounding oneself through the more positive constants in your life and getting the trauma to a safe distance. We recorded this one a year before the rest of the album as a means to test some sonic waters and try out a different approach to that we’d used for the previous E.P.”
Not Thinking Of Home arrives a few months ahead of the release of Our Nameless Boy‘s Debut Album, Colour From The Doves, a sincere and difficult reflection on a year that songwriter Iain Gorrie spent recovering from a life threatening disease. Much like its subject matter, the album is orderless and unpredictable in it’s delivery, with a purposefully scattered narrative and sonics that will at times haunt and at others overwhelm.
Inspired by the emotionally charged ‘quiet/loud’ frenetic dynamics of the late ‘90s/‘00s US alternative scene, Our Nameless Boy bring their own brand of raucous energy to their performances, with songs that are both hard-hitting and subtle in their intricacies.
