Nevada Nevada

Hailing from musical hub and weirdo haven, Brooklyn, New York, 4-piece rock outfit Nevāda Nevada's songs are penned by frontman Kathryn Musilek (piano, vocals, guitar) and shaped and arranged by the band into lush, loud, melodic piano-and-guitar landscapes nested within an awful lot of noise. Musilek’s lyrics are figurative and feminist, full of abrupt shapes and bright-siding about “the difference a day made a decade ago,” or the more weighted and upsetting fact that “we can leave”, but it’s not going to change much. The songs on Past Life are about time and activism, love and rage, and being stuck while still building something. Nevāda Nevada is: Kathryn Musilek (Burn Disco Burn, Deathships), Andrew Gerhan (Our Lady of the Highway, Adam Arcuragi, The Animals), David Olson (The Poison Control Center, The Wheelers) and Alicia Berbenick. Isiah Gage plays cello and Anya Combs plays saxophone.
