Nick Waterhouse takes the colour blue as his hue of choice
on Promenade Blue. In Nick’s musical and lyrical world,
blue is a refraction of his life and memories — evoking the
endless tours, marathon recording sessions, and highs and
lows of success he’s experienced in his decade-long career;
conjuring romances that were doomed, loves that lingered,
and hope for future days of parity and partnership;
summoning spirits of people who have gone but permeate
his mind forever. That’s the world of Promenade Blue —
one that is vivid and magnetic, buoyed by both light and
density due to Nick’s newfound collaboration with producer
Paul Butler (Michael Kiwanuka, The Bees, St. Paul and the
Broken Bones). It’s not Gatsby’s New York in the 1920s, it’s
Waterhouse’s California in the 2020s... but as anyone who’s
ever listened to a Waterhouse record knows: time, though
clearly pegged to the dawn of this new decade, is a more
malleable concept.
In no uncertain terms, Promenade Blue represents
Waterhouse’s finest hour as a writer and bandleader —
leveraging the musical partnerships he has built over many
years to put something forth that is so fully realized and
felt that it sparkles beatifically, reverberating with energy,
heart, creativity, and vibe from start to finish.
For fans of: Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, Leon Bridges,
Nathaniel Rateliff, Jon Batiste, Charles Bradley, Lee Fields,
JD McPherson, Van Morrison, Ty Segall, Allah-Las, Michael
Kiwanuka, St. Paul and the Broken Bones.
