about
No Dakota debut album New Bronze Age. A post- rock concept long player, musing on the nature of AI and human identity, taking us on an imagined journey through time as Talos, the original automaton, mutates and reinvents - first as 'Hel', the robot in Metropolis, and eventually in to the future android world of Blade Runner and Ex Machina. Dark, cinematic, immersive - and mostly definitely unexpected.
The project was conceived during lockdown 2020 by soundtrack composer noh1 / George Taylor (fratelli brothers, Dutch Head, The Ting Tings, Hans Joachim Roedelius) and drummer / multi-instrumentalist Martyn Barker (Shriekback, Goldfrapp. Robert Plant, Ray Davies, Marianne Faithfull, Billy Bragg, Alain Bashung) with guitarist Jez Coad (producer Simple Minds, Lost Boy, Surfing Brides) and guest appearances from Vienna’s Mira Lu Kovacs (Schmieds Puls, 5K HD, My Ugly Clementine) and Berlin-based thereminist and vocalist Dorit Chrsyler (Trentmoeller, Cluster, Swans).
Comparisons might be drawn with Radiohead, Portishead, M83 and Unkle, but No Dakota’s intriguing blend of crafted lyrics, edgy beats, vintage hooks and ambient atmospherics is all their own.
