Bristol based post-punk outfit NAUT have announced details of their 2nd EP Semele.They’ve also shared the video for the title track which features a guest solo from Henrik Palm (In Solitude, Ghost).
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzpQu139iTM&w=560&h=315]NAUT is a 5 piece dark rock band from Bristol, whose shared love of classic rock and metal, alongside reverence for the post-punk pioneers of the late 70s and 80s makes itself known from the start. heir songs switch from raw tribal tom beats to uplifting anthemic synth in a moment, but always stay danceable and perhaps most dangerously, catchy.
The driving bass-lines and pounding drums create a dynamic and shifting rhythm section which supports the interwoven guitar and synth lines, creating harmonies more akin to NWOBHM than a straight up post-punk revival band. The lyrics emerging from the riffs carry a theme of otherworldly exploration, removing self imposed limits and realising your will.
These elements came together to create a release that made people take notice with their debut EP ‘Raise The Lights’ in 2018.
Since their first show in September 2017 the band have continued to play live sharing the stage alongside the likes of Grave Pleasures and Cold in Berlin with more shows lined up for later this year.
