Nick Mulvey/ ‘New Mythology’/ Fiction Records
“The time of the lone wolf is done” is the first totemic lyric from Mercury Prize-nominated Nick Mulvey’s new single “Star Nation,” an immediate call to personal and environmental action, and a microscope into the transformative journey Nick has gone on over the five years since his critically acclaimed second record Wake Up Now. “Star Nation” is both a tender and stark beginning, which comments on the individualistic human systems that have caused climate change, with a stunning video directed by photographer Kate Bellm in Mallorca, Spain. The song sets the scene for Mulvey’s third album, New Mythology, to be released June 10 (Fiction Records). New Mythologyis an album that centers on “interbeing”; a collection of songs that meets this moment in time head-on and shows Mulvey’s exceptional talent for putting complex, philosophical ideas into three-minute songs.
