Niels Rahder – “The Times Are Now”

Niels Rahder’s “The Times Are Now” truly pays homage to the vibrant world of progressive rock. He is a solo talent from Denmark, now based in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Rahder brings so much influence to the track via his big influences: Dinosaur Jr., Beck, and Green Day. Recorded with top-notch mics and mixed in a Gothenburg studio, this song spins a narrative about a musician’s journey from local bars to city life. It captures the spirit of adventure, raw rock. Its production brilliance, thanks to Adam Ryan, echoes the monumental sounds of Green Day and Stone Temple Pilots.

I simply love how this release brings back the full sounds of progressive rock with a modern twist. For more information about his work and upcoming tours, be sure to follow Niels Rahder on social media for all of his most recent releases.
