about

With a quickly-cultivated following through the Austin live circuit, indie-R&B outfit Nané returns on a third single titled “Wolverine” that presents a freshly shadowy side to their sound. The track features climatic vocals and psychedelic guitars fused into a haunting blend, all complemented by a Moyo Oyelola-directed music video with stunning black-and-white images that track a good person's progression toward overcoming corruption (with the main characters played by twins Rakeem and Hakeem Wortham).

Let frontman Daniel Sahad explain its conceptual nature further:

“This song highlights the transgressive nature of man. How far "good" people can separate themselves from their own values for selfish reasons; creaking open the door for darkness to enter in small doses until, over time, they are entirely consumed. In this song we follow the story of two good souls who rob a jewelry store for a reason they attempt to justify. On their journey, one of the criminals realizes that the other seems not only to commit the heinous crimes, but to enjoy them, and beckons to let the thrill of his wrongdoings wash over him -- making his lungs shiver. Moral of the story: We cannot understand the implications of the unseen. The only way to control darkness is to confront it and cast it away. A small window of opportunity can lead to a lifetime of broken doors.”

“In this video we watch the internal struggle of our hero as he battles with his demons. They destroy his home, tie him up, and celebrate their victory, until our hero finally summons the courage to take ownership of himself and ultimately burn down their playground. Emerging from the ashes of his innocence, reborn as both the goodness and the evil within him, and stronger for it.”

lyrics

One in the chamber
I know you’ve got moves
Purple souls up to no good
Pull down the covers
Shake in your boots
Rubber smoke And twisted fools.
I aint ready for you
But i’ve been waiting to take my prize
(ahhh)
I ain’t ready for you
But
i’ve been waiting to prove my lungs
Shiver.
Pull back the collar
Tighten your ropes
Silver streams of frosted stone
Into nirvana
The depth in your look
Leaves no room for blackened fruit
I aint ready for you
But i’ve been waiting to take my prize
(ahh
h)
I ain’t ready for you
But i’ve been waiting to prove my lungs
Shiver.
Ooo
Ooo
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
oooo
Shiver

Nané Austin, Texas

RIP Daniel Sahad ❤️

Nané were an indie R&B outfit from Austin, Texas. They broke out into the Austin music scene in Summer 2019. Called Nané as a term of endearment by his family in the Dominican Republic, Daniel Sahad determined the band’s name with a communal approach in mind when you call him (and his band) Nané, you’re family too. ... more
