True Friends Nate Larson St. Louis

Armed with a drum set, a mic and an iPad, polyglot drummer Nate Larson becomes a full band known as True Friends. Larson eschews drum chops to focus on composing songs sonically inspired by EDM, funk, disco and rock on his second studio album, “Severe Love”. Walking tempo beats provide a dancy four-on-the-floor backbone for Larson’s fluffy, synth-heavy compositions. Funky bass lines add a crisp counterpoint to lulling melodies and often shouted lyrics about love, relationships, and his children. These elements combine to create a dancy atmospheric expression born out of necessity for a drummer without a band.
