Biting, genuine, thoughtful, playful, joyful, and sincere, Nashville’s New Translations embrace contradictions and exist to confound a band that captures the dizzy surreality of being alive in confusing times. After a series of singles and EPs like 2023's "The Business", New Translations singer Oliver Pierce, multi-instrumentalists Isaac Middleton and Andrés Ahogado, bassist and producer Ben Dunn, and drummer Philip Walker have settled into a new era that finds them doubling down on their complexities, while writing some of their most vulnerable songs to date.

The band's latest single "Coldest Century" has a thick bassline snaking through a head-nodding beat accented by loose riffing and verses that transfix with elusive lyrics. Taken from the forthcoming debut album "VACATION" releasing February 14 2025, it arrives on the heels of "Post Hang", “Voided Velvet (feat. Michigander),” and previous singles “Vacation,” “Sally,” and “Rat People.”

With their new music, the members of New Translations stand confident in their role as boundary pushers and leaders of a non-country music vanguard in Nashville. Their mission remains: “I want us to find the outsiders and create a community that celebrates the strange,” Pierce says.
