Girl at the Rock Shows

Well, we’ve made it to lunchtime on Friday. I’m sitting here with my very sad lunch of leftover noodles with presto and chicken. I’m not mad about it. I have a pretty exciting dinner date planned for tonight with some friends. None of this has anything to do with “Hard Mode” from Nowhere Dept. but, honestly, this is just how my brain is deciding to work right now. A little ADHD, a little exhaustion, and just a whole lot of nothing rattling around in my brain. That being said, that nothingness is quickly changing to intrigue with every second I hear of this song.

“Hard Mode” came out about two months ago. Honestly, that’s all I know about this song or band. That being said, I was instantly enamored with Nowhere Dept.’s sound when it came to this song and I honestly didn’t need any more background. There’s something so warm and cozy about this track which made it perfect for this dreary Friday. Stylistically, I would say this is indie rock but there is this little hint of something just a bit more folksy here that makes this song truly shine. It’s neither fast nor slow, not angsty nor sad. Really, this song sits in the in-between of so many crossroads which means you take this song how it fits your life at any given time. For me, today, I got lost in the coziness of it all. There’s warmth in the vocals and a tender sense of care in the instrumentation. Although I’m at work right now, this song made me feel like I curled up on my couch with the cats, a giant mug of coffee, and a good book. Where does this song transport you?
