Nick and June release new album with sneak peek of “Husband and Wife” in music video
Berlin-based duo, Nick & June, consisting of Nick Wolf and Suzie-Lou Kraft, have recently unveiled their latest single, “Husband & Wife.” Collaborating with Oscar-nominated composer and violinist Owen Pallett and produced by Grammy winner Peter Katis, the track holds a significant emotional depth as Kraft penned it following the passing of her grandmother.
The song forms part of an EP sharing the same title, “Husband & Wife,” with the rest of the EP serving as a sneak peek into the duo’s upcoming album, “New Year’s Face,” set for release on December 5th. Notably, this album marks the duo’s first project post their romantic separation.
Initiating as a slow and contemplative piece, Kraft’s vocals delicately merge with the piano, gradually building up to the first chorus and further, reflecting the emotional journey of coping with loss and navigating the closure of losing a loved one. Kraft expresses, “I don’t think any song of ours ever came together as quickly or made as much sense as this one. It’s a love song from my late grandparents to my dad, maybe also to me. It’s a meaningful one because the lyrics were just there – they didn’t even feel like they were coming from me. Having Owen Pallett contribute strings makes it even more significant.”
Soft and airy, “Husband & Wife” encapsulates a dream-like essence, serving as a poignant ode to those who have experienced the loss of a dear one.
Through their music, Nick & June invite listeners to embark on a heartfelt journey of remembrance and reflection on the intricate tapestry of emotions that arise when grieving a loss. Their upcoming album promises to carry forward this theme, delving deeper into the complexities of human emotions and relationships.
As they embark on this new chapter in their music journey, Nick & June are poised to captivate audiences with their poignant lyrics and ethereal soundscapes, offering a glimpse into the depths of the human experience. Their ability to create emotionally resonant music that speaks to the core of the human condition sets them apart as a duo to watch in the indie music scene.
With the release of “Husband & Wife,” Nick & June have set the stage for an emotionally evocative musical experience that promises to resonate with audiences on a profound level. Their unique blend of storytelling and musical artistry creates a bridge between personal experiences and universal emotions, inviting listeners to connect with the raw and authentic narratives woven into their music.
