Pacific Northwest outfit Nicamus returns with Progress, a fiercely crafted indie rock anthem that implores listeners to reject complacency and embrace empathy as a guiding principle. Built on layered guitars, driving drums, and soaring, introspective vocals, the track embodies the DIY spirit that defines the band’s approach, music made not to fit genres, but to channel a singular artistic vision.
Swirling, atmospheric, and raw, Progress draws on elements of lo-fi rock, garage rock, power pop, and post-rock, crafting a sound that is both nostalgic and urgent. Nicamus situates themselves in the rich creative lineage of the Pacific Northwest, yet remain entirely their own voice, jangly, poppy, angular, and poetic all at once. The single serves as a rallying cry, demanding engagement with the world rather than silence. It’s a bold prelude to their upcoming album, Trust Fall, promising music that resonates intellectually and viscerally.
