Interview with Nick Mulvey

Bringin' it Backwards

Jun 20 2022 • 42 mins

We had the pleasure of interviewing Nick Mulvey over Zoom video.

New Mythology is the third album from Mercury Prize-nominated artist Nick Mulvey and his first in 5 years. Out today on Verve Forecast (Fiction Records in the UK), the record was recorded in Paris with renowned producer Renaud Letang (Manu Chao, Feist, Connan Mockasin) and is a stunning 13 track collection brimming with Nick’s innate musicality and insatiable curiosity about the connection between humans and the planet we live on. The album was featured this morning on NPR’s New Music Friday, with Robin Hilton saying It might be my favorite record of the week…almost like living room recordings that start very quiet but then they’ll bloom in these beautiful ways." “The Gift” was also just featured as a Song of the Day on KUTX and Mulvey’s interview with Variance Magazine ran yesterday.

Journeys come in a myriad of forms. Nick Mulvey knows this, he’s been on many since he released his sophomore album Wake Up Now. Be it a change in geographical scenery – a physical move of home from the UK to Ibiza, and back – to the sea-sawing wonder and vulnerability of the everyday human experience; in this case becoming a father and navigating the pandemic. Most pertinent though, when it comes to his powerful songwriting, has been his journey to compute the scope and scale of his feelings: an attempt to embody the personal all the way to the planetary – and grasp their true inseparability.

Nick Mulvey has come a long way since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album First Mind in 2014. A musician, composer and producer, he has amassed a staggering 587 million streams globally, the equivalent of half a million albums sold and has completely sold out his first headline UK tour since before the pandemic, including his headline show at London’s Koko.
