Navigating grainy textures and fierce guitar tones, Notbrian unleashes his latest single. “Take Me Back” is a jangly guitar rock single lined with nuanced artistry that separates Notbrian from his DIY rock contemporaries. This gritty vocal performance can keep up with the infectious guitar work for a track that harkens back to the early days of garage rock while sounding present and urgent. The urgency comes from the structure, “Take Me Back” changes tempos and tones with little warning, making for a firey listen worthy of the replay button.
A recording project of NYC-based Brian DeSousa, Notbrian weaves alt & DIY influences into a rock-rooted sound that melds genres and tells stories. “This song came from a relationship that taught me what it feels like to fall hopelessly and love,” explains DeSousa, “and robbed me of my independence and will to create.”
