“Do yourself a favor and check these guys out and come float away with us on their cloud of celestial melodies.” – Baeble
Originating from Portland, Oregon, NTNT started out as the brainchild of Dustin Brown. With their 2012 debut, I’ll Find You in the Colors, in tow, the group are ready to release their latest, And Then the Moon, on February 24, 2014. What started as a side project began to grow into something much larger in a short period of time. As Brown had the desire to perform the songs live, he sought different musicians before meeting Ryan Berry (Drums, Samples) and Chad Van Dyke (Guitar).
And Then the Moon proves to truly be an act of love and labor. Writing over 50 tracks and recording in his living room, Brown settled on 5 pieces for the EP because of their congruence. Each piece is a depiction of the next direction that Brown had wanted to take the band, as well as the honest representation of his emotional makeup throughout the last year and a half. Each of the songs are individually inspired, yet the concept remains strong and bound. The pieces have the strength to stand on their own, and blend flawlessly when placed together. The lyrics on And Then the Moon, reflect a journey of birth and re-awakening, putting everything into focus for not only this record, but for the next as well.
NTNT have been featured on MTV’s Awkward with “The Climb,” have supported Vacationer and Gentlemen Hall, appeared on PDX Pop Now! 2013 Compilation, and have had several songs used for Forever 21, Nokia, and Monster Energy amongst others.
Ranging in influences from The Mars Volta, Empire of the Sun, M83, Toro Y Moi, Passion Pit and Mew with a twist of 80’s nostalgia, this unique combination creates a sound that is very much their own. For Brown’s love for rhythm, combines with his ear for a great track, which has helped build the sound of the band today. Berry draws most of his inspiration from Hip Hop, Rap and Funk, dubbing his own style, “Hip Pop.” Laced with synths, samples, guitars and drums, NTNT blend each element with musical perfection, as Brown has named their sound “Sunshine Thump.”
