The music of San Francisco-based Nervebox captures the moments of intense reality – both thrilling and devastating – that flash like strobes between the mundane passages of everyday life.
With an eclectic sound
at times reminiscent of Radiohead and Coldplay, at times closer to Portishead
and even David Sylvian, Nervebox’s music is at once sophisticated
and simple, a fusion of innovative instrumentation and vividly poetic lyrics
that produces songs that are both nuanced and immediately accessible.
Nervebox’s music is smart music. It’s music that echoes, in
words and sound, the complex voice of a post-millennial America caught between
the collapsed dream of a technology-driven utopia and an uncertain and unknowable
future.
