Today, the prolific Omaha-based musician David Nance has announced his self-titled debut record as David Nance & Mowed Sound, his latest group and recording project, out February 9th on Third Man Records. He also presents its lead single/video, “Mock The Hours,” (below) a throwback rock number that buzzes with the immediacy of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ Damn the Torpedos era. “‘Mock The Hours’ is a rock song containing classic pop structure, a big drum and piano drone rhythm, passionate love-and-carnage lyrical nonsense and the biggest chorus on the album,” explains Nance.
Led by Nance on vocals and guitar alongside Kevin Donahue on drums, James Schroeder on guitar, Derrick Higgins and Sam Lipsett on bass, alongside guest appearances from Megan Siebe, Skye Junginger, and Pearl LoveJoy Boyd, Nance brings together a crew of veteran Omaha musicians for a record that showcases Nance’s voracious appetite for anything that rocks, anything that soothes, and all the glorious static and disturbed transmissions in between. “The whole album is a big magic trick,” Nance says, “most of these songs were written as country songs and then were perverted into different forms…but it sure as shit isn’t a country record.”
