Hiding behind a web of mystery and ambiguity is a strategy being adopted by more and more bands looking to grab the short attention span of potential listeners.
Whilst the official NO soundcloud has almost fifty tracks, and attributes them to a certain Bradley Hanan Carter, it appears that it’s only in the past month or so that Carter has really begun to instill a driving force behind NO. New single Stay With Me is a baritone led ballad, proving remorseful and drowned in unrequited longing, with Carter yearning ‘stay with me, isn’t there a place for me inside your heart?’. Comparisons are easily drawn to The National, in both the sound and songwriting structure, and although NO may not quite be up on the same level as the Ohio five piece, Stay With Me is a promising step forward.
