Early life

Nathan said that as a child, they were influenced to learn music by the fact that "all [their] friends were making music." [5] They learned how to play "The Simpsons Theme" on the piano when they were five, played bongos for their school band, and were a drummer. [5] They learned how to play the Misfits song "London Dungeon" on bass guitar (in eighth grade), made psychedelic folk recordings in their bedroom with Sony Acid, and performed in various bands at school. [5] The first group they were in was a comedy rock band named The Corrupt Ice Cream Vendors. [5] They got into several noise and psychedelic acts like Growing and Devendra Banhart in their teen years after being exposed to them via the magazine Arthur , and later got into free jazz and krautrock. [5] Nathan originally wanted to perform in the "cool band[s]" they saw at school and their summer camps, but they were turned down by all of them due to their "nerdy" look, which influenced them to become a solo artist. [5]

Career

2009–2012: Zonotope™ and Diane Kensington Devotional Band

Nathan stated that as a "pretentious teenager", they "refused to listen to anything that wasn't 1966 to 1968." Therefore, it was "part of [their] personality" that they despised electronic music. However, they experimented with their friend's Roland HS-60 synthesizer, finding the sounds it produced fascinating. This inspired them to make electronic music as a way of taking the "challenge" of "find[ing] a way to like" the genre. [5] Nathan began producing music in 2009, [1] and their first project was Zonotope™, a four-album "propaganda series" promoting a Southern California-based "alternative spiritual community" [5] named the Temple of Pure Information and Mainframe Devotion. [6] They also had a noise project named Diane Kensington Devotional Band, which depicts Nathan as the eponymous female who starts a fictional religion based on traveling into the "space between the 1 and the 0" through the ritual of "Trance Channels". [7] [6]

2012–2015: Jerry Paper

The name of Jerry Paper first appeared in the credits of the Zonotope™ album Excellent Realms (2010), where Paper was given a "special thanks" for "building The Mainframe." [8] [5] The story of the project involves Paper quitting from the spiritual community setting of Zonotope™ to find a "less orthodox alternative spirituality." [5] Nathan described Paper's music as "slightly less abstract" than their works for Zonotope™, and the project's titular character is caused by a "ritual" that transforms Nathan into Paper. [1] Paper often wears a garland and a silk robe [1] and acts like a "weirdo" who does "whatever the hell [they want]," such as become "romantically involved with a giant chameleon" and dance "like someone who just discovered movement five minutes ago," Koen van Bommel stated. [9]

Nathan explained that they wrote International Man of Misery (2013), "a cartoonish version of depression," as a way to poke fun on the "ridiculously melodramatic thoughts" they went through at the time. [2] Fuzzy Logic (2013) is about how modern living is complicated by technology and politics. [2]

Feels Emotion, released on February 11, 2014, [10] involved Nathan taking on, as Decoder magazine put it, more "ambitious" production techniques than their previous albums such as in sampling, an example being the cat sounds on "Holy Shit." [2] The LP also has some tracks where Nathan focused on non-repetitive pop structures instead of the typical verse–chorus form, including "I Feel Emotions," "Unless It’s," "Other Please," and "Heartbreak Module #3." [6]

On August 24, 2014, Nathan released what they considered their "first successful concept album," the Jerry Paper LP Big Pop For Chameleon World, [11] a soundtrack for their Unity game Dr. Javer's Genneheigen's Chameleon World. [12] The album explores simulacra, looking for "the dividing line" between a real object and a simulated version of it. [1] In doing so, it uses synthesized replications of acoustic instruments, such as a square wave keyboard sound meant to be a harpsichord texture. [1] According to The Fader , the use of these sounds gives the album a more "uncanny" vibe than Nathan's previous releases. [1]

2015–present

The same palette of instruments were later used on their next album Carousel (2015). [5]

For making Carousel, Nathan wrote the songs in the same manner as for their previous release; however, the analog keyboard Nathan usually used for creating their music had broken, meaning they had to rely on digital synthesizer sounds for Carousel. [5] they said the album consisted of a bunch of "hilarious sounds." [5] As they described making the LP's lead single, "I was just trying to come up with the funniest sounds to go together – like tubular bells, and standup bass, and harpsichord, and then it goes into disco funk." [5]

Toon Time Raw! was recorded with the band BadBadNotGood at their studio in Toronto. [13] The band acted as Nathan's anonymous backing band, being billed as "Easy Feelings Unlimited". Toon Time Raw! involves anthropomorphic animals dealing with human issues. [5] The record was performed with a record release party on June 19, 2016 at Brooklyn's art gallery place Secret Project Robot. [3] It was Nathan's first headlining performance that they performed with a backing band, a contrast from their previous live performances where they sang with machines performing the backing tracks. [3] As Madison Bloom of Audiofemme covered the event, "it was an evening of undeniably odd birds, but what a wonderful thing to see when so many modern bands are required to be ultra slick and fronted by supermodels," and the band's setup had "great versatility via keyboards, guitar, pedal effects, and flute." [3]

On September 15, 2017, American rapper Kari Faux released "Gotta Know," [14] a track from her extended play Primary. [15] Nathan produced the track under the Jerry Paper pseudonym and also received a "featuring" credit on the song. [15] Faux noticed Nathan's work via the "suggested artists" feature on Spotify, and, as she explained, she "was stuck on [their] music for a good three months, that was all I was listening to, and I would catch myself rapping to [them]." [16] This led her to contact Nathan via Twitter before the two came together personally in Los Angeles to collaborate. [16] Like a Baby was released in 2018. "Your Cocoon" and "Grey Area" debuted on the website Bandcamp as promotional singles for the album, which features Weyes Blood and Charlotte Day Wilson as collaborators. According to the Stones Throw Records website, the album delves into existential topics pertaining to "the endless human cycle of desire and satisfaction". [17] In the same year, Nathan also featured on Tyler, the Creator's debut extended play Music Inspired by Illumination & Dr. Seuss' The Grinch on the track "Hot Chocolate".

On May 15, 2020 Nathan released a new album titled Abracadabra. The song "Quicksand" was teased first while "Puppeteer" and "Cholla" were released on their Bandacamp profile and Spotify. Two years later, Nathan announced the release of their new album Free Time with first single "Kno Me". The album centers around Nathan's coming out as non-binary and was released on April 15, 2022 on Stones Throw Records.

Musical style and philosophies

"[Richard Rorty] wrote this excellent short book that I think everyone should read called Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity . In it he talks about how philosophy is futile and an outdated vocabulary to try to get things that we can’t get. What he proposes is narrative as an alternative-- to philosophy, to religion, an alternative to basically all moral or philosophical constructs. And I am heavily invested in this idea. I focus a lot on, instead of trying to explain mystical experience, to try to create a context and a vocabulary that maybe gets at it slightly more. And I feel that way with music as well."

— Nathan on the philosophy they use to produce their music [6]

During their teen years living in Los Angeles, Nathan hung around several Scientology and Mormon centers. They were curious about fervent believers and it felt foreign and interesting to them as they was raised in an atheist household. [1] It was during this time that they got into direct experience, the idea that language cannot clearly state what someone gains via sensory perception. [1] This, as well as their love for the "ritual" of religion, would later become the basis of how they develop their music: "Musical sounds act as symbols, but they carry information that can bypass linguistic processing. That was my main focus. I wanted to investigate that freaky idea." [1] They explained that "instead of trying to explain mystical experience," they "try to create a context and a vocabulary that maybe gets at [a philosophy] slightly more." [6]

Nathan is into the idea of fuzzy logic, or what goes on between the binary numbers of zero and one. Their Diane Kensington project and the title track of the Jerry Paper album Fuzzy Logic are based on the concept. [7] As they opined, "Binaries are a very helpful way to deal with things. They’re a pretty good tool when it comes to categorizing the world and figuring things out. But it’s not actually how the world works." [7] Another primary purpose for Nathan making music is to keep "put[ting] [them]self in uncomfortable situations." [6]

Nathan's reason for producing and performing music under alter egos like Jerry Paper is that they help them figure out more about their actual self:

I feel like having the alter ego allows me to be even more of myself, whereas I feel like Lucas Nathan, who I am in everyday life, changes based on the scenario and who I’m talking to. I have to be polite, I have to be a normal member of society. But with Jerry, he’s not real, he can be anything. [9]

The works of Henry Cowell (pictured) inspired Nathan to play with the limitations of pop music. Henry Cowell portrait NYPL 4002097 (cropped).jpg
The works of Henry Cowell (pictured) inspired Nathan to play with the limitations of pop music.

"What...is more human than a computer? That doesn’t happen outside of humans. Electronics are purely human tools", Nathan discussed in an interview with The Editorial Magazine. [7] This translates into Nathan's musical style, which Bloom described as "genre-less" but compared to Daft Punk in that it combines the "coldness of technology with the foolproof warmth of human music." [3] Nathan explains that musically, their works play around with the limitations of pop music. [6] This limitation aspect of their works was inspired by the piano-only works of Henry Cowell: "He has that piece, "The Banshee," where he’s scraping his finger nails on the piano strings. Fucking incredible. He used the piano in a different way." [6] This is why, until Toon Time Raw!, [5] they didn't use MIDI software because they would've otherwise "ha[d] a huge amount of choices." [6]

Themes

Nathan, in both their songs and the music videos for them, takes on comic views of real life because, in their words, the "world isn’t so serious." [9] All of Nathan's music attempts to get a view of alternate universes, [5] and "because I feel that music isn’t really the arena for truth, I often write lyrics focusing on the irrational," they said. [2] In terms of live stage performances, Nathan dances in comic yet profound routines and delivers, in a deadpan tone, indifferent aphorisms that are also in the lyrics of their songs. [3] As they said while performing live at their release party for Toon Time Raw!, “It’s great to be alive. But having a body is sooo annoying. But you are a body, so…fuck it." [3]

A common major theme in Nathan's records is anxieties, how they "feel very immediate and true in the moment but in hindsight often register as products of absurd logic." [2] The lyrics of their works represent feelings of hopelessness and concern of where to go in life in the future, which are translated "into a subtly self-aware revision of easy listening," Decoder analyzed. [2] As Bloom stated, "Though wearing the guise of empathetic AI and employing tools of the Muzak genre such as keyboard saxophone and elevator synths, they manages to make sincere, and more importantly good music that is relatable to humans and algorithms alike." [3]

Personal life

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nathan moved to Manhattan where they attended The New School in 2008 to study sociomusicology and philosophy of religion. [1] They lived in Brooklyn as of 2014, [1] but relocated back to California in 2016. [3] They are married. Nathan is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. [18]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Helloween</span> German power metal band

Helloween is a German power metal band founded in 1984 in Hamburg by members of bands Iron Fist, Gentry, Second Hell and Powerfool. It is said that the band is one of the most influential European heavy metal bands of the 1980s. Its first lineup consisted of singer and guitarist Kai Hansen, bassist Markus Grosskopf, guitarist Michael Weikath and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. By the time Hansen left Helloween in 1989 to form Gamma Ray, the band had evolved into a five-piece, with Michael Kiske taking over as lead vocalist. Schwichtenberg and Kiske both parted ways with Helloween in 1993; Schwichtenberg died two years later as the result of suicide. Between then and 2016, there had been numerous line-up changes, leaving Grosskopf and Weikath as the only remaining original members. As a septet, their current lineup includes four-fifths of the Keeper of the Seven Keys: Parts I and II-era (1987–1988) lineup, featuring three additional members, vocalist Andi Deris, guitarist Sascha Gerstner and drummer Daniel Löble.

<i>Raw Power</i> 1973 studio album by Iggy and the Stooges

Raw Power is the third studio album by American rock band the Stooges, released on February 7, 1973 by Columbia Records. The album departed from the "groove-ridden, feel-based songs" of the band's first two records in favor of a more anthemic hard rock approach inspired by new guitarist James Williamson, who co-wrote the album's eight songs with singer Iggy Pop. Pop produced the recording sessions himself and David Bowie assisted with post-production work, though the team were allotted only one day to mix the album and the resulting fidelity was poor. Later reissues have attempted to either correct or enhance the original mix, most notably Pop's 1997 remix, which became notorious for its extreme volume and compression.

<i>Alice in Chains</i> (album) 1995 studio album by Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains is the third studio album by American rock band Alice in Chains. It was released on November 7, 1995, by Columbia Records, and was the follow-up to the highly successful Dirt (1992). This is the band's first full-length studio album to feature bassist Mike Inez and their last studio album to feature original lead vocalist Layne Staley before his death in 2002. It is also their final studio album to be released through Columbia. As with their previous releases, the album's songs focus on heavy emotional content and subject matter such as drug addiction, depression, religion, broken relationships, and the internal tensions within the band fueled by Staley's substance abuse. The album's music relies less on metallic riffs and more on melody and texturally varied arrangements, integrating some of the more delicate acoustic moods of their EPs.

The Chameleons are an English rock band formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester, in 1981. The band's classic line-up consisted of bassist and vocalist Mark Burgess, guitarists Reg Smithies and Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever.

Post-metal is a music genre rooted in heavy metal but exploring approaches beyond metal conventions. It emerged in the 1990s with bands such as Neurosis and Godflesh, who transformed metal texture through experimental composition. In a way similar to the predecessor genres post-rock and post-hardcore, post-metal offsets the darkness and intensity of extreme metal with an emphasis on atmosphere, emotion, and even "revelation", developing an expansive but introspective sound variously imbued with elements of ambient, noise, psychedelic, progressive, and classical music, and often shoegaze and art rock. Songs are typically long, with loose and layered structures that discard the verse–chorus form in favor of crescendos and repeating themes. The sound centres on guitars and drums, while any vocals are often but not always screamed or growled and resemble an additional instrument.

Script of the Bridge is the debut studio album by English rock band the Chameleons. It was released on 8 August 1983 by record label Statik.

Crossover thrash is a fusion genre of thrash metal and hardcore punk. The genre emerged in the mid–1980s, when hardcore punk bands, such as Suicidal Tendencies, Cryptic Slaughter, Corrosion of Conformity and Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, began to incorporate the influence of thrash metal. At this time, the genre was particularly prominent in the New York hardcore scene, where groups including Agnostic Front, Leeway, Cro-Mags and Stormtroopers of Death were widely influential.

<i>A Laughing Death in Meatspace</i> 2018 studio album by Tropical Fuck Storm

A Laughing Death in Meatspace is the debut album of Melbourne-based supergroup Tropical Fuck Storm, formed by members of The Drones, Palm Springs and High Tension. The band, wishing to step away from the more rock-centric sound that The Drones were known for prior to their final pre-hiatus album Feelin Kinda Free, utilized a range of obscure digital guitar effects, synthesizers, drum machines, and DAW software such as ProTools to create the music. Finished less than eight months after their first few live performances, the speed at which the album was recorded also had a heavy influence on its idiosyncratic sound, which combines genres such as punk blues, art punk, psychedelic rock and noise rock with influences from pop and electronic music. Written by Liddiard with contributions from other members, the lyrics have been described as apocalyptic and darkly humorous; tackling subjects such as technological advancement, political polarization, socioeconomic inequality, xenophobia, culture wars and many others. The album title links a Silicon Valley slang for the physical world with the neurodegenerative disorder of kuru found in the Fore people of Papua New Guinea.
