In their latest sonic exploration, Narwhals draw from a kaleidoscope of influences spanning Joy Division, Mogwai, and Phoebe Bridgers, crafting a poignant narrative within the intricate production of Unstitched. Joined by Michael Ward and Phill Ward in the studio, Jacob Patrick delves into themes of co-dependence and emotional unraveling in relationships. Unstitched captures the daunting task of navigating a new reality post-separation, finding solace in melodic guitars and consistent percussive beats. With a vocal performance somewhere inbetween Ian Curtis & Matt Berninger, Narwhals deliver a sonically mature offering that marks an exciting evolution for the Manchester quartet. As a precursor to their sophomore record, New Years Drunk In A Cocktail Bar, Unstitched sets the stage for Narwhals’ promising trajectory in 2024.
