FIGHTING SLEEP Midnight I think I’ll make it to your party to see you fake it don’t wanna come apart like your sister come apart at the seams but nobody knows what you mean Later feeling frazzled from the meltdown you know your mirror they don’t wanna say your name ‘cause it brings bad luck come apart at the seams but nobody knows what you mean I want to listen to your sin and push til you say when you’ve fallen in too deep like a child fighting sleep, and I’d say Midnight I think I’ll make it to your party to see you fake it You don't want to come apart like your sister did come apart at the seams like a child that’s fighting sleep I wanna let you know I’d never let you go hearts on a string an infinite repeat don’t wanna be like a child that’s fighting sleep and I’d say…

KNOW WHAT SHE SAID Dreaming In your magic there’s a part of you, you know you can’t let go Now your’e out the door in the street its the final words that you’re supposed to know Its true Its true Racing against your clock Gonna find the words to make it all come back down to me feels so tragic there’s a part of you, you know you won’t let go down to me in the night when you fall into dream come to me call the cops when you fall in between down to me in the night when you thought its a dream now we’re dead when you know what she said

Now It's On 02:44
NOW IT’S ON I heard you calling from the other side Tonight my thoughts in outer space but I’m still alive floating solo without the fear dragging the jet-stream with the tears they said nobody would write your song if my heart was off, now its on. My heart was off now it’s on If my was off, now it’s on Now it’s on.

Come To Us 03:02
COME TO US Come to me come to us imitation is your form of trust stepping into the lights just to see you move Come to me Come to us stepping into the lights gonna see you move things were lost that were never found you can chase my shadow just to hear my sound you can shift your dreams to the settled sea legitimize yourself with a magazine things were lost that were never found you can chase my shadow just to hear my sound you can shift your dreams to the settled sea legitimize yourself with a magazine

Hey Ivey 03:12
HEY, IVEY Hey Ivey Whats on your mind? ‘cause Ive been waiting through the night Is there nothing you won’t deny? ‘cause you’ve been phoning in the lies your eyes won’t see imagined it was you I’m there to meet Hey Ivey where do you go? you came to town, forgot the the soul is there nothing you won’t give? in your head is where it lives your eyes won’t see imagined it was you I’m there to meet But I’m elated to keep waiting I’m over-rating all I see

Standing Still Looking for the daylight it goes on and on and on these feelings were your nightlight searching for your song You were pushing back the cobwebs to a clear blue sky ghosted all the others standing still, now the other side Laughter is a weapon until it breaks my heart 4 until 11 standing still you know it breaks me down…down that’s the way you want it to be.

OK Let's Try 04:25
OK, LETS TRY they are pulling switches lock it around you to say you’d never dip your feet in the ocean like you’e want them to yeah, ya do. That’s fine, alright when ya said “ok lets try” i held your feet when you were floating away Life’s finer when there’s nothing to say alright, stay high when ya said ok lets try They loved you more when you were pulling away life’s harder when there’s something to say they are pulling switches lock it around you like you responded to the ragged notion its what they want you do yeah, its true That’s fine, alright when ya said ok lets try I held your feet as you were floating away Life’s finer when there’s nothing to say alright, stay high when I said “ok lets try” They loved you more when you were pulling away life’s harder when there’s something to say yeah ya do… That’s fine, alright when ya said ok lets try I held your feet as you were floating away Life’s finer when there’s nothing to say alright, stay high when I said “ok lets try” They loved you more when you were pulling away life’s harder when there’s something to say

Say Love 02:56
SAY LOVE When you find ready or not what your’e not looking for, If you say the words that rhyme you can fly me over anytime say “Love” Won’t you say “love”? The sound of heart attack you were low down there fell into black what you say you keep it to yourself when you’re broken down there’s no one else Say “Love” Won’t you say “love”? Won’t you say “love”?

THE SHADOWLANDS I’ve got a lot to say but it’s for another time it’s gotten free what you need ‘cause I’m living in it now on your graduation night I ‘m someone different now, if you believe that sort of thing finally said you’d drop me line if you’ve got nothin’ to do leave me on the side with your crossbones on the shelf it’s the blues I bring the levity to your situation but I’m divine my imagination I’ll be wanting more than you will see finally said you’d drop me line if you’ve got nothin’ to do leave me on the side with your crossbones on the shelf it’s the blues finally said you’d drop me line if you’ve got nothin’ to do

about

Beginning as the drummer in the 90s Birmingham, Alabama indie-rock power house, Verbena, Les Nuby began a steady musical exploration that’s still going. He’s a one-time touring member for Scottish legends Idlewild, touring guitarist with Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), guitar slinger for Vulture Whale, and current guitarist/vocalist for Holiday Gunfire. It’s a hefty musical resume before the production credits even begin. In his Birmingham studio, Ol’ Elegante, Nuby has been the production captain for several notable releases in the past few years for artists such as Will Stewart, Sarah Lee Langford, The Dirty Clergy, and Witch’s Wall, to name a few. He’s pretty much been there and done it all in the past couple of decades as player and producer. The only item missing from the list was a solo album. Until now.

Nuby’s solo debut Clouded injects a southern sensibility into his unique and ultra-capable take on brit/shoe-gaze rock that produces ten melody laden, thoughtfully arranged and undeniably powerful songs. From the anthemic opener “Never Falling Away”, foolish choices are complemented with never losing hope.
The first single- “Know What She Said” blends progressive 70s/80s rock sounds with a melody and chime of early 90s power pop.

Nuby produced, engineered and played all the instruments on Clouded, a reminiscent snapshot of when music had the ability to make you drive faster and cry harder. It may have taken him awhile to get around to making an album all for himself. But, anyone who knows the man or is familiar with his past work isn’t going to be surprised that Clouded has clearly been worth the wait.
