Flashy indie pop band EXNATIONS just released their latest single “Knife.” Based out of Brooklyn, NY and Baltimore MD, the band consists of Sal Mastrocola, Taylor Hughes, and John O'Neill. With a sound and style comparable to bands like Bleachers and The 1975, EXNATIONS belongs on your next playlist.
EXNATIONS decorates with a variety of bright colors and artistic images, setting the tone for their music. I have listened to this band for a while now, and all of their music reminds me of my favorite indie movies. The music video for “Knife” rings this true through the use of beaming colors and picturesque cityscapes.
“Knife” is a song that takes you on a journey. Beginning with a steady intro evoking feelings of nostalgia, “Knife” progresses until it explodes into a rhythmic pop jam, speaking to young love that fades in the face of adulthood. By the end of the song, you have a newfound feeling that everything is going to work out.
With lyrics that speak to significant phases of life, and a sound that gets you up on your feet, EXNATIONS will keep you dancing through whatever comes your way. Check out the new single “Knife” and its video to get your daily dose of Tumblr-esque aesthetic. Make EXNATIONS your Valentine this year, and check out their music/social media below.
