086: Zach Nytomt

Send us a text

On Episode 086, I'm joined by Texas songwriter Zach Nytomt. This too was an interview conversation held pre-quarantine. Matter of fact, as I was heading to Nytomt and company's soundcheck at Blue Light, it was announced that SXSW was being canceled. It felt surreal and an extremely foreign idea to all of us--and still does.

Regardless, Zach Nytomt is yet another rising singer-songwriter coming out of the state of Texas. Last year, he released New York to Montana, an extremely strong and diverse sophomore full-length. A play off Nytomt's last name, New York to Montana (ahem, NY to MT) is ample space for Nytomt to roam, both sonically and conceptually. With Timothy Allen (formerly of Shane Smith & The Saints and currently of Brother Band) at the producing helm, Nytomt and Allen go off in dynamic directions on the album--everything from the sugary space pop of "Interstellar" and country-blues rambler "Robert Jenkins" to the road-weary escape of "Seven Day Bender" and the redemptive soul of "Troubadour."
