Daniel Belgrad, aka vern matz, presents a serious approach to songwriting, echoing the work of seminal artists such as Wilco, Pixies and Mazzy Star. Like looking at life through a kaleidoscope, Vern's world is tilted and enchanted: a modern love note to '90s slacker jams and lost loves. Of the Velvet Underground, Daniel Belgrad says, "They're like the precursors to a lot of modern bedroom pop, and I love the idea of Lou Reed being appalled by my TPain voice. Sorry Lou.”
For the first time, Nice Guys presents its compilation project of covers by the artists of the indie rock and bedroom pop label. From Frank Ocean to Bruce Springsteen, through the band Air or Bob Dylan, artists cover some of their favorites classics in their own way. Let's rediscover standards reappropriated in the light and colorful universe of Nice Guys Records’ artists. ‘Reprise’ is ten covers by ten worldwide bands; the Nice Guys crew, despite being spread on all continents, reunites under the same flag to bring our first cover compilation. Without any headache, in all simplicity, they form a symbiosis around a soft, groovy and relaxed vibe.
