Mt. Nadir Releases Stellar New Single “Knife’s Edge”

Meeanjin/Brisbane dream rock act Mt. Nadir have gotten under my skin with their latest single “Knife’s Edge”. It took me a few listens to fully appreciate it, but once it clicked for me I was all in. This track has been a staple in Mt. Nadir setlists for some time now, and I can see why.

“For my whole life, I’ve been someone that falls in love hard and fast, and once I’m with someone, I never want to leave. ‘Knife’s Edge’ is about the year I was 24, when this changed,” admitted the band’s frontperson, Frankie Rosbrook. “I would fall for people hard and fast, but lose interest within weeks, and my mind would inevitably wander back to my first love. I upset a few really lovely people and it made me feel really awful. It was a stressful, confusing, sometimes fun time of my life. I was living on a knife’s edge.”

After recently launching the single for hometown fans, Mt. Nadir will support The Vaccines before heading south for a string of New South Wales shows in a couple of weeks. Here are all the places you can catch them on their A Slightly Smaller Tour.

10 May 2024 – The Tivoli, Meeanjin/Brisbane (supporting The Vaccines)
17 May 2024 – Vic On The Park, Eora/Sydney (FREE)

Feel the “Pain” With Mt. Nadir

We’ve all heard of musicians writing and recording songs online, but meeting and forming a band over the internet is a little rarer. However, that’s exactly how Queensland band Mt. Nadir got together. After listening to their debut single “Pain,” I reckon it’s going pretty well for them.

This track is a sucker punch of emotion. The vocals from frontperson Frankie Rosbrook are the perfect vehicle for those angsty lyrics.

“”Pain” is the break-up feeling, the dark and empty, the absence of a future that stays in your body a bit too long. Heaviest in quieter moments, it’s the deeply irrational, the ‘you & nobody’ could possibly understand the things I feel,” Frankie explained. “All though it may seem gloom, it also serves as a reminder that just as fast as these times can come on; just as fast they will pass. In a way, it provides an anthem for the common doubt and knowing that the darkness is a natural aspect of the human existence.”

Mt. Nadir recently launched the single in Meeanjin/Brisbane. Hopefully it’s not too long before they bring their show to the rest of the country. We’re ready!
