Nervous Dater announce new LP 'Call In The Mess' (stream "Middle Child")

NYC indie punks Nervous Dater have announced the follow-up to their 2017 debut LP, Don’t Be a Stranger. Call In The Mess, which was recorded pre-pandemic with producer Lorenzo Wolff, is due out February 26 via Counter Intuitive Records. It’s another step forward for the band, marking their most immediate, catchy release yet.

They’ve shared first single, album opener “Middle Child,” and vocalist/guitarist Rachel Lightner says that accepting themself as non-binary inspired the track. “‘Middle Child’ is a culmination of, ‘Ok, you’ve known this for a while, you aren’t a girl,’ and being inspired by friends gave me the freedom to reassess my own identity and come to terms with it in my own way,” they say.
