The Nursery – “Human Race”

December 17, 2018

Toronto trio The Nursery sprinkle plenty of alt-rock gusto into the video for their track “Human Race.” A hint of 80’s synth pop influence weaves its way throughout song’s harmonic structure, taking shape in the video’s retro, analog TV projection. There’s an earthiness to their sound that cements the array of styles together, combining post-punk grit with celestial dream pop. Their cited influencers, ranging from The Cure to Queen, hint towards an appreciation for time-tested melodies and instrumental soundscapes. Mull over The Nursery’s classic themes of angst and apprehension in the video below.

The Nursery – “Digital Ashes”

August 9, 2016

Vaporwavers The Nursery hit us up recently with the glitchy synth pop of “Digital Ashes.” Coincidentally, the Toronto band made its way to our lovely hometown of Buffalo, NY to record their newest EP in a converted monastery. The result is “Digital Ashes,” a big pop song that melds the band’s love of 80s synth-pop and 70s post punk, utilizing lots of chiming guitars and thick synth tones. Snag a copy of “Digital Ashes” by heading over to iTunes.
