D.C. via L.A. singer-songwriter Nate Harar, also known as Dalton, has uncovered his new single "Only Names".
Littered with marimba clonks and stadium-rock tom splatters, this is a percussive feast. It's laced with Harar's aching-yet-melodic croon, and despite the overall hugeness of each individual element, they together sound remarkably intimate. Humbling, even. It's one of those tracks that builds and buids and builds, never quite reaching the climax it sounds like it should; you're left on tenterhooks, clamouring for more.
The single is released 15 December on In Stereo Records. Harar's new LP is due in 2015 via Fierce Panda.
