Dementophobia is the fear of losing one&#8217;s mind, and its accompanying single is a blistering, fuzzed-out, post-punk explosion that captures the nature of N\u00d8MADS as a dynamic post-punk duo. &#8216;Ph\u00f8biac&#8217; is the follow-up to N\u00d8MADS&#8217; critically-acclaimed 2014 full-length, &#8216;Free My Animal&#8217;.

In a time when so many things about our daily world seem insane, <em>Dementophobia<\/em> is a phobia that is likely more common than it is diagnosed. On the track, frontman Nathan Lithgow sings the paranoid refrain <em>&#8220;Find a faster, louder way to give. Something wrong is always happening; just a prayer for a partial lobotomy. Excuse me I&#8217;m all out of me.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The duo is the brainchild of Nathan Lithgow (My Brightest Diamond) who handles bass and vocal duties, and Garth Macaleavey (the technical director at National Sawdust) on drums. True to form with all of N\u00d8MADS&#8217; output, the duo relies heavily on Lithgow&#8217;s melodic, yet razor-sharp distorted bass, paired with Macaleavey&#8217;s powerful drumming. Together, the band conjure up the sonic power of early Battles&#8217; work, as well as the gritty, razor sharp execution of 90&#8217;s post-rock bands like Death From Above, Trans Am or Tortoise.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s all the previous instalments of Ph\u00f8biac:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>February:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/2017\/02\/05\/post-punk-duo-nomads-share-new-single-achluphobia-announce-new-12-month-conceptual-album-phobiac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Achluph\u00f8bia&#8221;<\/a> (the fear of darkness)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>March:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/2017\/03\/21\/post-punk-duo-nomads-share-dizzying-new-single-acrophobia-announce-first-live-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Acroph\u00f8bia&#8221;<\/a> (the extreme fear of heights)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>April:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/transmissionpublicity.dmanalytics1.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fnomadsnomads%2Fataxophobia&amp;i=9&amp;d=41Z7prBBQQeHVtTmU58vxg&amp;e=info%40cultureaddicts.com&amp;a=UNkeexoKQN2AsQgx9Y6-Zw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Ataxoph\u00f8bia&#8221;<\/a> (the fear of chaos and disorder)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>May:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/2017\/05\/21\/nomads-share-new-single-chronometrophobia-announce-new-tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Chronometroph\u00f8bia&#8221;<\/a> (the fear of clocks, watches and time)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>N\u00d8MADS have\u00a0shared Dementoph\u00f8bia, the June instalment of their ongoing, year-long conceptual album &#8216;Ph\u00f8biac,&#8217; with each song being a case study based around a different rare <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=25938\" title=\"N\u00d8MADS share &#8216;phobia&#8217; single &#8216;Dementoph\u00f8bia&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25363,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[23,28,30],"tags":[6372,2197,5872,925],"class_list":["post-25938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-music","category-new-release","tag-dementophobia","tag-nomads","tag-phobiac","tag-post-punk"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/369f451507ab092c40f1e8d4e987ff7bf40e0cb7-e1495928049870.jpeg?fit=608%2C569&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-6Km","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":24377,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=24377","url_meta":{"origin":25938,"position":0},"title":"Post-punk duo N\u00d8MADS share new single &#8216;Achluph\u00f8bia&#8217; + announce new 12-month conceptual album &#8216;PHOBIAC&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"February 5, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"NYC's post-punk duo\u00a0N\u00d8MADS\u00a0have released\u00a0Achluph\u00f8bia, their blistering new single based on the fear of darkness, and are\u00a0re-emerging after taking 2016 off from recording and touring.\u00a0The duo is has also\u00a0announced their new album 'PHOBIAC,'\u00a0which will be released\u00a0in 2018,\u00a0which is the follow-up to their acclaimed debut 'Free My Animal'.
