Narrow Head’s Jacob Duarte announces solo debut & tour as Nihilistic Easyrider, shares “Getaway Plan”

Narrow Head‘s Jacob Duarte has announced new album as Nihilistic Easyrider, titled DELUXE EDITION, which will be out July 25 via Run for Cover. He actually refers to it as more of a mixtape, featuring songs that were written at different times in his career in a wide variety of styles. Contributors include Narrow Head drummer Carson Wilcox, producer Graham Hunt, and Momma’s Allegra Weingarten and Ella Friedman.

“Narrow Head and this project are equally big parts of me, and I need to do them both, but I always know if a riff is going to become a Narrow Head song or a Nihilistic Easyrider song the moment I first write it,” Jacob says. “In a funny way, these Nihilistic Easyrider songs are closer to the music I always wanted to make growing up — they’ve got that real ’90s and 2000’s emo feel that I grew up loving and wanting to channel. When I write for Narrow Head I’m writing for what the band needs, whereas these songs are more like, a personal diary of growing up through music.”

The first single is “Getaway Plan” and you can watch the funny video for it, directed by Nate Kahn and co-starring Matt Berry (The Berries), below.
