Track of the day - Nixer Fast One

Fast One is the fourth and final single from Nixer’s forthcoming EP I hit the town and the town hit me back.

Following on from the successes of Saccharine Smile, The Book and Second Hand, Fast One is another quintessentially Nixer track. Fusing prose with a modern post punk beat, the track uncovers the darker side of the anticipated new Nixer record. Fast One explores themes of mobile phones, nightlife, and how these two entangle and confuse our real-life relationships with online personalities we are forced to invent for ourselves.
