DOWNLOAD: Nelson - People & Thieves
Nelson is rock formatted from the dance floor. Birthed from heavy shoe gaze rock; buttressed by gauzy power chords. But unlike most contemporary rock jams (verse-chorus-bridge-oh-my), their songs undulate and warp ala prog rock and build progressively ala 1980s French electronic house. Add clashing cymbals, pedal-heavy guitar riffing, and gutsy bass-driven backing tracks? You've got a similar strain of electro-pop as The Midnight Juggernauts and Cut Copy. It's no surprise they are opening for other favorites of ours, These New Puritans and Zombie Zombie. After all, it's music that pulses as easily through a 1,000 person dance tent in the desert as in your headphones.
