Nicolas Nadeau ​audaciously ​bares all as the frontman of Austin’s preeminent shoegaze ensemble Single Lash​. Heavy walls of effects drenched guitars and synthesizers back Nadeau​’s dejected vibrato and woefully honest song writing that epitomizes the art of crestfallen chic. Single Lash ​delivers introspectively satiating songs that emote the existential struggles of heartache and loneliness through thick layers of feedback draped across a driving rhythms. Lush instrumentation vividly contextualizes the nuanced hues of Nadeau​’s voice with intuitive reply while bass and drums hold down a smooth and catchy structural anchor. Single Lash​’s dense subject matter is conveyed through unabashed pop melodies and irresistible hooks that eloquently express the pain of regret with poetic and humble exposition.
