Holy chips, Batman!  Today greets the arrival of the second offering from Elizabethtown, KY native Nick Hagman aka Nario.  The followup to 2009’s Most of Me, the astutely titled More of Me is all chip all awesome all the time.  The seven sizzlin’ songs here boast varied influences from rock, electro pop, dance, industrial and more, all neatly bundled into a retro 8-bit package of blip love and hot groove.

Nab the digital release here or at bandcamp today, or go to Locus Tangibles to pre-order the CD with two bonus tracks!  Yay!

Skrow022: Nario - Most of Me

Nario - Most of Me

As promised, the debut of VGMix alumnus and Elizabethtown, Kentucky native Nick Hagman, known internet-wide as Nario.  Most of Me explores industrial electronica, chiptune, atmosphere, live piano, comic relief and more (not necessarily in that order), with an infectious catchiness, a strong sense of melody, and an engaging cinematic quality that combine to ensure a consistently fun listen and a very cohesive album through all the stylistic variation.  Pump the bass and turn those speakers up!  It could be the best 35 minutes you’ll spend all day.
