With their new EP Iarmhaireacht arriving August 15, West Irish noise rock quartet Nerves release the final single from it, titled “Don’t Let Go”.
A six-minute descent into the band’s industrialised, emotionally charged soundscape, the track, shaped by the meticulous hand of producer Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), is a jagged jewel of cascading noise and shadow. It drags you into its dystopian orbit and doesn’t let go, leaving you breathless, suspended in its abrasive, haunting beauty.
Speaking about it, frontman Kyle Thornton says: “The lyrics live in a place of total loss, but there’s something in the music that suggests hope, that maybe things can only get better from here. It’s that final act of denial you make before accepting that something is really over. Or maybe a final act of defiance. It depends how you hear it”.
