NEW SINGLE: Nat Vazer 'Rumours' + forthcoming album Strange Adrenaline
Enter Nat Vazer’s sonic storytelling with her new single ‘Rumours’ + Strange Adrenaline out Friday 6 October + Limited Edition vinyl pre-orders
Deeply seated in her landscape of confessional indie rock and detail rich songwriting, Nat Vazer releases ‘Rumours’, her next single out Thursday 3 August via Gyrosteam, and opening from her upcoming album Strange Adrenaline. Slated for release Friday 6 October, on the newly formed Bendigo Records, a limited edition 'Northern Lights Marbled' Vinyl is now available for pre-order from all indie record stores nationally including Rocksteady Records, Bendigo Vinyl, as well as JB Hi-fi, Bandcamp and Nat Vazer’s Spotify.
Strange Adrenaline, Vazer's second full length album is a kaleidoscope of ‘unique stories told through the people, places and memories that have shaken me and stayed with me over time’ says Vazer. Following her debut at SXSW and NYC’s New Colossus Festival earlier this year and headline tours on the East Coast of the US, she is gearing up for the release with her Bigsound 2023 debut this September.
With 2023 singles premiered on Triple J, LA's KCRW, Under The Radar, Earmilk, and Pilerats, plus Spotify editorial playlist adds on Fresh Finds AU & NZ, Local Noise, Live Nation’s Ones To Watch, Nat Vazer also received radio rotation support from FBi, Double J and PBS FM.
Departing from her signature sound, Vazer's latest offering 'Rumours' is set in the dark and seedy backstreets of Hollywood - like something out of David Lynch’s ‘Mullholland Drive’ or Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’. The song paints a surrealist dreamscape of recurring trauma through Vazer’s threads of guitar and abstract yet poignant lyrics, her reverb drenched vocals echo as if memories are battling space with the real world. "Rumours’ paints a picture of recurring trauma. It’s like a creature born in childhood innocence but keeps re-manifesting throughout your life in different ways." - Nat Vazer
Through her vehicle of folk storytelling, Nat Vazer drives through carefully fashioned sonic landscapes, new realms written on piano, and her viscerally brilliant combination of dream pop and indie rock "Strange Adrenaline’ is like a fast car on a lost highway - forever hungry, forever searching," states Vazer about her upcoming LP. Featuring previously released singles ‘Born’, ‘2am Diner’, ‘Strange Adrenaline’, ‘Addicted To Misery’ - a track triple j’s Ash McGregor described "could destroy my soul and rebuild it at the same time", and current single and album opener ‘Rumours’, Strange Adrenaline is layered with unassuming arrangements and lyrical introspection, building the different worlds anchored to each song "writing this album was like looking inward to find the child inside again, and reaching outward for something beyond me." - Nat Vazer.
Capturing the hearts of audiences around Australia and the world, Vazer has supported Vacations, Last Dinosaurs, The Magic Numbers, Jaguar Jonze, #1 Dads, toured with Lime Cordiale and Kingswood and has joined the festival lineups of Kyneton Music Festival, St Kilda Festival, Summersalt and more, and a packed few months of live shows earlier in the year including her debut US shows at SXSW, New Colossus Festival (New York City), and WFNM in Los Angeles. Vazer’s 2020 debut album ‘Is This Offensive And Loud?’ went on to be nominated for The Australian Music Prize and was listed in several best-album-of-the-year lists including NME Australia and The Musician, alongside a nomination for Best Breakthrough Artist at the Music Victoria Awards.
Enter this new creative dimension of Nat Vazer’s musical worlds as she questions both the theoretical and existential’, - "Passing through a field of stars, ever wonder what you are" - Nat Vazer.
