Rising indie folk sensation Nell Mescal has unveiled ‘Warm Body,’ a poignant new track that echoes with the ache of unresolved pasts and the daunting venture into new connections.
Fresh off the heels of a packed UK tour, this release serves as a prelude to her eagerly awaited EP, Can I Miss It For A Minute?, set to drop on May 3rd, 2024, through LAB Records.
Mescal, who has captivated listeners with her introspective narratives and raw emotional delivery, describes ‘Warm Body’ as a reflection on the struggle to leave behind old ghosts and the fear of losing those we cherish. The song, she notes, dives into the complexities of maturing and the intricacies of relationships, imbued with a longing for understanding and stability.
We speak to Nell Mescal about her confessional songwriting and development as an artist, brother Paul, and her new single ‘Punchline’, which is out now.
This latest offering builds on Mescal’s exploration of her upbringing, kinship, and Irish heritage, continually drawing acclaim. With nods from heavyweight publications like i-D, The New York Times, and The Times, and a nomination from Rolling Stone UK under her belt, Mescal’s star is unmistakably on the rise.
The past year saw Mescal enchanting audiences across the UK, gracing festivals like Latitude and Electric Picnic, and earning spots supporting acts like HAIM and Florence & The Machine. Her January UK tour sold out swiftly, showcasing her dynamic live presence and hinting at the rich storytelling to be fully unveiled in her upcoming EP.
