Biting, genuine, thoughtful, playful, joyful, and sincere, Nashville's New Translations embrace contradictions and exist to confound—a band that captures the dizzy surreality of being alive in confusing times. After a series of singles and EPs like 2023’s The Business, NewTranslations—singer Oliver Pierce, multi-instrumentalists Isaac Middleton and Andres Ahogado,bassist and producer Ben Dunn, and drummer Philip Walker—have settled into a new era that finds them doubling down on their complexities, while writing some of their most vulnerable songs to date.The group’s new single “Vacation,” is a dynamic and dreamy song with shimmering neon keys,glassy guitars and breathy, delicate vocals. It also continues the idea of being an outsider—aconcept that has become a throughline in the group’s latest work. With their new music, the members of New Translations stand confident in their role as boundary pushers and leaders of a non-country music vanguard in Nashville. Their mission remains: “I want us to find the outsiders and create a community that celebrates the strange,” Pierce says.
