home AVAILABLE NOW: "MY FAVORITE GIFTS" featuring NATB, AVETT BROS, PALFACE and more!
There’s something to be said about a song that can transcend the chaos, which sometimes interrupts our lives, into a state of calm reflection. I’m not saying that Nick and the Babes should be a rainy-day soundtrack. No, this band has a sound that evokes sheer creativity.
I can vouch for it: My incessant writer’s block dissipated into the gentle melody of “Morning Light” (currently available on iTunes) last week while preparing our interview. The song, evoking a Band of Horses-meets-Lucero feel, makes it clear that Nick and the Babes understand Americana rhythms.
Made up of singer/songwriter Nick Bailey, his twin brother Graham (percussion), Dail Reed (bass) and Rob Wank (keys), the North Carolina musicians have already received acclaim on the Web series, “The District,” as well as on Animal Planet, other cable channels and independent films. They have solidified themselves on the regional music scene to no avail. Their tongue-in-cheek lyrics—”I really wanna punch you in the face,” (“Punch You In the Face”) —paired with driving rhythms and hypnotic cadences not only grabs a listener’s attention but endears them to a more sprightly level of being.
