The song’s doused in a steam-room chic that dampens the velour touch a bit but never makes it seem any less lush. Its the kind of song that begs to be laid back into, eyes closed to let it wash over you. For his part, Potter sounds just as relaxed as the rest of us — thoroughly blissed and enjoying his own cloud of calm." - Raven Sings the Blues "Nolan Potter has quietly painted us a beatific masterpiece that veers from the whimsical to the wigged out, deftly weaving an untamed tapestry of sound all the while archly commenting on the present musician’s predicament – and he did it alone." - Psychedelic Baby “'Gregorian Chance' feels like a journey into the unknown recesses of another universe, with skittering drums, charming flutes, and lush keys that sink into the aura." - Post-Trash "Propulsive new single 'Stubborn Bubble' takes us on a nine-minute exploration of Krauty sci-fi fuzz, augmented with a UFO synth line and zero-gravity vocals." - Austin Chronicle   "Nolan Potter has created a slice of tie-died perfection on Music Is Dead, with its modern take on the heightened colours, reverbed vocals, swirling tunes, cracking guitar riffs and flute of 60s alt-pop." - Joyzine   Today, Nolan Potter shares a music video for the title track off his latest LP, Music Is Dead (released September 24 via Castle Face). KEXP hosted the video's premiere. From director Taylor Browne: "Castleface Records presents Nolan Potter's Music Is Dead, a moral tale of greed and the loss of innocence. This stop motion video was directed by an exceptionally sleep deprived Taylor Browne in the vein of Terry Gilliam & Jan Svankmajer. The animation was created entirely by hand using illuminated manuscripts from the British Museum and vintage magazines found at Half Price Books. Additional Production & Camera Work was supplied by the illustrious Nick Tanner, Kasey Maloney, & Julie Wierd. Filmed entirely on location inside The Grimorium of The Eye. No members of Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band were harmed in the making of this video."   Nolan Potter - "Music Is Dead" NOLAN POTTER LINKS  Facebook | Instagram | Spotify | Apple Music | Bandcamp
