Native Sun channel effortless Madchester cool on "I Need Nothing"
Native Sun are possessed of the uncanny ability to push their hard-hitting sound and leather tough attitude in a wide array of sonic directions without compromising the band’s core ethos. Their latest single, “I Need Nothing,” exemplifies that chameleonic quality with a heady trip into the kaleidoscopic expanse of the early 1990s Madchester scene with impressive effect.
The grooving psychedelic joint rolls on a simmering rhythmic shuffle wrapped up in a massive but neatly restrained bassline that presents an unflappably laid-back foundation. Colossal, chiming guitars soar to stratospheric heights while retaining a grounded and gritty edge that lends an air of aggressive attitude to the low and stoned proceedings, like The Stone Roses meets Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at an afterhours coolout in the hippest flat this side of the North Atlantic.
True to the sonic presentation, the Tim Nagle & Conor Cunningham directed video is clipped to a nostalgically tight ratio and awash in soft tones and softer focus. The band jams against backlit seamless, a blank canvas for light and color to shift and merge with mesmerizing overlays and swirling analog effects. It’s a time capsule in a manner that never goes out of style and a celebration of the effortless cool and undeniable magnetism that Native Sun has completely mastered.
