N8NOFACE – Everything We Thought We Knew
N8NOFACE delivers ‘Everything We Thought We Knew’, another glimpse into his upcoming album As Of Right Now – a collection that trades street tales for love songs. The track finds the 49-year-old synth-punk veteran exploring tenderness without abandoning the shadows that shaped his sound.
The song strips away excess, built around thudding drum machines and sparse synths. N8’s vocals shift through distortions and tones, breaking the hypnotic loop of repeated lyrics.
It’s darkwave doing what darkwave does best: making melancholy.
Collaborator Chico Mann brings haunted warmth to the proceedings, his contributions seeping through the static like distant comfort.
‘Everything We Thought We Knew’ works as both a standalone track and a promise of what’s coming. It confirms that sobriety doesn’t have to mean sanitization, that growth can happen without abandoning what made you interesting in the first place, and that sometimes the most radical thing you can do is admit you still believe in love.
