The Never

Label: Trekky
Genre: Pop, Rock

The Never are the erstwhile geek rock (think Weezer) outfit of songwriters Ari Picker and Noah Smith, along with college friends Joah and Jonny Tunnell. I say "erstwhile" not just because it's such a geeky word but because The Never's latest LP extends well beyond geek rock to an intricately crafted multimedia project, including a 50-page illustrated storybook (featuring 40 original oil paintings by Noah himself) and a corresponding suite of songs depicting a country boy's journey to return a nuclear bomb to the city. Word is The Never are aiming to adapt Antarctica for the stage. And, given the cinematic leanings of Ari's latest Lost in the Trees EP, I wouldn't be surprised if a film version follows...

from Antarctica (2006):
Cavity [MP3, 3.9MB, 192kbps]
The Witch [MP3, 5.7MB, 192kbps]

from The Never (2004):
The Astronaut [MP3, 7.3MB, 192kbps]
