Minneapolis duo Now, Now have broken a six-year hiatus from releasing new music with the arrival today (Oct. 29) of the EP 01. A visualizer for the song “About You” can be seen below.
Group members KC Dalager and Brad Hale haven’t been heard from much since the 2018 release of the acclaimed Saved, which came out on former Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla’s Trans label. Dalager released her solo debut as KC Rae, Think I’m Gonna Die, in 2023, while Hale has worked behind the boards with everyone from Grimes and Claud to K. Flay, KennyHoopla and Donna Missal.
“I’d never been able to have a life where I focused on anything other than music and touring as the main and pivotal focal point of existing,” Dalager says about Now, Now’s long break. Adds Hale, “we aren’t the type of band that can just churn things out for the sake of churning them out. We really have to be in a very specific place to start making new music.”
The material on 01 was recorded in the duo’s freezing basement studio and “are really a great example of the culmination of everything we’ve learned over the 23 years of making music together,” says Hale. “I think we spent more time on the sonic world these songs live in this time around,” offers Dalager.
