With her intense, 90s inspired sound and the captivating energy and charm that she brings to it, Courtney Nord is an artist who has spent the last few years winning over fans and acclaim for her atmospheric take on alternative rock, channelling influences from grunge, bedroom pop, and indie rock to craft something that feels entirely distinctive and exciting.

This has culminated in the release of her debut EP Wasteland, and the release’s title track is one that exemplifies the range and sheer scope of what is on display here. Melding a grunge-inspired aesthetic and guitars with backbeats and modern production, the track feels like a unique bridge between the 90s and today, further signalling the ambition and guile of the artist to meld two disparate genres in such a way that feels so inspired and memorable. The track is intense, it is catchy, and it feels entirely unlike anything you’re likely to hear anytime soon, growing and mutating as it develops into something unexpected and new.
