The I Know Better EP reflects a confident, focused unit that’s long past its days of switching off lead singers and trying to find its place in the indie music world.

The Delaware-based indie-rock band Surreal Nation just got on our radar, and super glad they did. Their dynamic new EP I Know Better marks a high point in their evolution to a multi-faceted five piece band, and reflects a confident, focused unit that’s long past its days of switching off lead singers and trying to find its place in the indie music world.

With Paul and Jackson as chief songwriters, Surreal Nation penned the five songs as a concept recording of sorts, trying to keep the same theme throughout. Creating haunting, noir-ish imagery, they created a single female character who is navigating her life in Hollywood during its golden age.

Listen to my favorite track from the upcoming EP, “Hangtime.”
