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!
