Justin Bieber, Frank Ocean, Mk.gee: pop troubadour nate sib rounds up the tracks that inspired his new EP “for us”.
A mainstay in the new generation of genre-bending talent occupying the minds, hearts and souls of millions, LA-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist nate sib’s name is growing in revery and expectation. His new EP delivers the goods; “for us” is glitchy, idiosyncratic pop for the chronically online, with rain clouds of heartbreak and humanism amidst the downpour of futuristic production and auto-tuned vocals.
Experimental, energy-filled, and off-kilter in its endoscopic effervescence, “for us” pierces in all the right places. sib stops by Wonderland to round up the tracks that inspire him and his new work in our latest On Repeat.
Listen to the EP…
nate sib Is On Repeat…
Fred Again.. x Brian Eno – “I Saw You”
This song makes me feel emotional because when I listen to it, I reminisce on my life and am grateful to be alive.
Mk.gee – “I Want”
This song was playing when I had my first kiss with my first love.
Deadmau5 – “The Veldt”
This song is special to me because it reminds me of a time in my life when I was freshly getting sober and back into making music.
Justin Bieber – “Somebody To Love”
This was the first song I heard on my iPod Nano when I was 8 years old. It was the first time I heard Justin Bieber and ever since has been a song I’ve listened to forever.
Frank Ocean – “White Ferrari”
This song changed my life.
The Replacements – “Swingin Party”
This song means a lot to me because I have a core memory of me and my whole family listening to it singing along together.
Aphex Twin – “Xtal”
This song is a special one to me because I would play it every time I would play Magic The Gathering with my friend Hollis and it would be our ambient soundtrack while we’d play.
Jerry Vale – “Mala Femmina”
This song means a lot to me because my dad would always play it on the record player at every dinner. Every time I hear it, it brings me back to being a child.
Q Lazarus – “Goodbye Horses”
My sister played me this song for the first time on a rainy day in Loz Feliz and it brings me back to a happy memory.
Skrillex x BEAM – “Mumbai Power”
This song is my childhood.
