Near Death Experience Reveal Prolific New Anthem ‘Present’

Unveiling a prolific string of singles throughout 2024, Near Death Experience are back with their soulful new single ‘Present’. Finishing the year on a climactic high, the London-based outfit blends a vintage spirit with a contemporary flair to allure their defiant sonic realm.

Infectious hooks in front of pummeling rhythms are the first thoughts that come to mind having heard ‘Present’ spill into the soundwaves. Funk-inspired basslines take a raspy hold of the single, filling it with relentless joy. Infusing the single with a euphoric class and energy, NDX are once again adding to their discography with a powerful, evolving anthem.

Diving into the track, the band expand, “Our driving, funky, infectious single 'Present' is an anthem about living for the moment. In an increasingly uncertain and unstable world, the hook to the song "There's no time like the present" has never been more appropriate. From doing all the things you've ever dreamed of, to saving the planet, there really is no time to lose! And we hope that 'Present' helps to put a rocket up the arse of the world! Even if it's simply telling someone that you love them, stop dithering and JUST GODAMN DO IT! The song continues our journey towards the groovier side of psychedelic soul. Although we're again wearing our love of the 60s and 70s sound boldly on our sleeve – from the Rolling Stones to James Brown and Curtis Mayfield – 'Present' follows its own path with Ian Whiteling's distinctive big soulful vocals, Amar Grovers driving bass guitar, Jack Dawkins' jazzy sax with a hint of the East, and Joshua Van Ness's funky drums.”
