Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Nelson King melds a lo-fi, indie rock aesthetic to a classic song writing style that feels all at once both fresh and nostalgic. King is a prolific singer/songwriter, recording and releasing his 7th full album in less than a decade. His staunch DIY ethic of creating music in his home studio as well as successfully self-releasing albums has allowed him to eschew the rigmarole most bands and songwriters generally struggle with starting out.
His latest release, Songs, finds King playing to his strengths; writing honest, compelling lyrics which complete an eclectic blend of songs that vacillate between the uplifting “Shine”, and the downtrodden, delicately plodding “Worry About Tomorrow When It Comes”. King’s raspy voice sits over a bed of acoustic guitar, creating complete emotional transparency between himself and the listener.
Nelson King will be busy in 2015 in support of Songs, but sees no plan for taking any breaks from writing new material. King’s favorite song to play is always the last one he’s written, and he’s had a lot of new favorites recently….
