Mankato originals, New Variant brings back the feeling of summers past as remembered and retold rather than lived. With layered guitars that build a soundscape of tasteful distortion and mellow, reverb heavy cleans, their alternately surfy then gravelly rhythms and traveling riffs spearhead a 2000’s resurge with a vintage feel. Smoothly entwined warm bass tones and rolling, emotive drums perfectly cue the height of sobriety or joy coming through crooning vocals set in the midst of the haze.

New Variant’s sound is riddled with nostalgia and reflection, a self-indulgent day dream with edges rippling to reveal the edge of the headspace. Close your eyes and let them transport you somewhere.

New music coming soon…
