Grammy-winning, Ivor Novello-nominated live electronic trio NERO have unveiled their latest single ‘Draw Energy’, the third off their highly-anticipated album Into The Unknown.
‘Draw Energy’ is an electrifying embodiment of the mechanical tones and futuristic ethos that encompasses NERO’s universe. The track samples London’s industrial surroundings as sonic inspiration. True to form, ‘Draw Energy’ is masterful and grandiose in production while still harnessing the kinetic force of the dark dance floors where NERO was born.
“This song started with the first sound you hear in the track – which was a piece of machinery that we recorded in a car park. We knew we wanted to build something heavy and energetic around it but with a feeling of ‘human meets machine’.” – NERO
Last year, Daniel Stephens, Joe Ray, and Alana Watson reemerged as NERO with their first solo single, ‘Truth’, following a five-year hiatus. Nearly a decade since the band headlined Coachella’s Outdoor Stage (2015) and premiered their second studio album Between II Worlds, NERO is embarking on their next journey with Into The Unknown. Marking a significant return for the trio, Into The Unknown will see NERO revisit their drum and bass roots with tracks like ‘Blame You’ as they conclude their album trilogy, which began with the chart-topping, Platinum-selling and Grammy-winning Welcome Reality (2011).
Into The Unknown traces the final chapters of NERO’s post-apocalyptic tale of humanity’s dichotic destiny; where science and fantasy, beauty and brutality, creation and destruction meet in harmony. Enveloped with the band’s lust for the metaphysical and the existential, Into The Unknown encapsulates the dystopian universe NERO have built over the past 20 years with their epic trilogy.
Stream ‘Draw Energy’ available now on all platforms.
