After years of drumming for bands such as Pacific Range and Glenn Annie, Nate Ward found himself in a new predicament... bored. With tours canceled and a large void to fill, Nate began writing about his changing world. Slowly but surely this led to a sizable collection of songs. With help from his old bandmates Stewart Forgey and Cameron Wehrle (Pacific Range), and fridns Derek Doszkocs (The Charities), Clay Finch (Mapache), and Katie Skene, Nate, set out to make his debut, Truth Takes Time.

Recorded at Dan Horne's (Cass McCombs + Circles Around the Sun) Universal Hair Farm Studios in Studio City, the album has a warm and vintage feel. It is acoustically dricen with upright piano and acoustic guitar woven throughout.

The music sounds oddly familiar, yet new. Nate draws inspiration from old-timey folk singers like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, and other artists such as The Band, George Harrison, and Tom Petty. Truth Takes Time fits right into the bustling Southern California Americana scene, while echoing sentiments of 1960's Laurel Canyon.

These songs capture the monrose mood of the lockdown era with themes of estrangement, heartbreak, and letting go. However, there are glimpses of hope. Like a winter sunset over the coast, things come into clear view on Truth Takes Time with flourescent color, even if just for a passing moment. Returning to the unknown and awaiting a brand new day.

Jordan Hook opens.
