Nathan Ball, a Cornish-based alternative indie artist, has masterfully combined his two main passions: classic songwriting and a bold eagerness to experiment with sound, drawing enigmatic inspiration from avant-garde, left-field house music. Fresh from performing as a dynamic vocalist alongside the legendary British electronica act Faithless at Glastonbury’s iconic Glade Stage, Ball releases “Stateline,” a serene and captivating new addition to his discography.

Written while on an exhilarating tour in Australia, Ball drew inspiration from the transient, nomadic life. He describes the creative process behind the track: “It’s an adaptation of the story of Icarus ignoring advice, flying too close to the sun, and meeting his demise. It’s a coming-of-age love song about dreaming your life away and the innocent beauty of young love, only to be brought back down to earth and all its reality.”

“Stateline” features snappy and infectious guitar strings that provide the perfect sonic backdrop for Nathan’s expansive and soulful vocals. Serene and poignant lyrics enhance the track’s captivating instrumental setting, creating an intriguing prelude to his highly anticipated upcoming release, “Lost Track of Time.”

Inspired by his picturesque Cornish surroundings, Nathan finds the outdoors to be a significant influence on his evocative music. He shares, “It’s where I write best; by the sea, in the mountains, in the woods. I love being totally immersed in nature, so naturally, those themes find their way into the music. I love being in the ocean—just being in it and feeling totally insignificant. It’s a reminder of the order of things.”
