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.
