New York City alt-rockers Native Sun announce signing to the city’s indie label TODO. They also release new single ‘I Need Nothing’, the first track from their forthcoming debut album set for release later this year. ‘I Need Nothing’ channels the raw, hedonistic energy and rebellious spirit of early punk and garage rock with the melodic sensibilities and depth of art rock. With its industrial guitars, hypnotic bass grooves, and phased-out drum loops, the single pulsates with a confident swagger, while its lyrics reflect a yearning for liberation and detachment amidst the chaos of the modern world.
Fronted by Colombian-born Danny Gomez (vox/guitar) alongside Justin Barry (bass/vox), Jack Hiltabidle (guitar), and Argentine-born Nicolas Espinosa (drums), Native Sun is celebrated for their visceral, untamed live shows and Gomez’s socially-charged lyrics that confront reality head-on – channeling disillusionment into action and lovingly documenting the lives of society’s misfits and marginalized.
Speaking ahead of the single’s release, the band stated:
“‘I Need Nothing’ is our response to the chaos of a world in crisis – where every day we’re inundated with noise, distraction, and a kind of manufactured anxiety designed to keep us disengaged. It taps into a collective exhaustion – being bombarded by political dysfunction, performative media, and the hyperreality of late-stage capitalism. But the song isn’t about apathy; it’s about stepping back to reclaim space, to think clearly, and to act with intent. It’s a defiant refusal to be consumed by a broken system—survival and self-liberation through clarity and detachment.”
