NØMADS take on the fear of isolation in new single “Autophøbia”

In the song, the post-punk duo envisions a young narrator gazing into the future at a photograph of himself as an old man, sitting alone in a chair; his reflection is the knife dividing a picture of a life alone, nearing its end, and a present tense image of his own youth. NØMADS’ frontman Nathan Lithgow (also of My Brightest Diamond) and the infinitely talented drummer Brian Wolfe (David Byrne & St. Vincent, The Dap Kings) filmed the video as part of their Live In Pittsburgh series, which was shot in the cavernous shadows of an abandoned Catholic school’s furnace room, executed in one full take with no edits.

Starring alluring drag queen, Patti Cake, the video follows the story of a queen that’s trying to leave behind his secret life in the spotlight and be welcomed back into the folds of his church. Needless to say, despite the use of conversion therapy, the lure of cabaret and cherry red lipstick is too much a part of who he is. The band’s charismatic performance, shot with a stunning church as their backdrop, blends effortlessly with flashbacks to drag shows and gritty basement conversion meetings.

The song is the true story of a poet who travelled four days to express her love to guitarist and vocalist Marina Avros.

We meet lots of people on tour who love the song and it doesn’t matter who they are. They just say how great it is, to have someone express themselves as gay and to sing about it. That means a lot to me”.
