False Horizons
Nanashi’s debut single “False Horizons” finds its strength in a rare balance: the atmospheric vastness of post-rock fused with the raw emotional weight that feels distinctly Scottish. It is not just music that stretches across landscapes, but a sound that captures the ache of distance, longing, and the quiet beauty of surrender. That original blend makes them immediately stand out in a crowded scene where exhibitionism too often passes for originality. We are used to thinking of identity as the badge that makes us unique, yet Nanashi seem to work in reverse. Their very name, meaning “without a name” in Japanese, strips the ego away to let something more universal seep through. In “False Horizons,” the band sketches the human tendency to chase illusions, to reach for what cannot be reached, and in doing so they bring us back to something communal, something we all share when language and labels fall away. Rather than a display of individuality, their music taps into that nameless emotional current we instinctively recognise.
