Indie Pop from The Bergamot

Brooklyn-based duo The Bergamot is formed by multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Paul Hoff and drummer Jillian Speece with both musicians laying down their vocals on the project. When the pair met in high school in South Bend, Indiana, they immediately bonded over their shared love of making music and decided to write a song together, embarking on a journey that would see them flourish as an act for years to come.

With influences such as Wilco, Mac DeMarco, Dave Matthews Band, Barenaked Ladies and Tame Impala, as The Bergamot they craft their own vibrant take on the indie pop style. In 2016 they made their studio music introduction and released their debut album Tones and the following year found success with breakout single “P.D.R.” when they were discovered by producer Matt Wiggins, who’s previously worked with the likes of Glass Animals and London Grammar.

Winning over fans and gaining recognition for their music, they’ve been featured in the Rock Band: Rivals video game and have just opened for the Barenaked Ladies at the Morris 100 Fest in their hometown. Recently they’ve been dropping a string of singles in the build up to their latest album titled Far Out and now bring us the latest single from the record with “Paradise”.

Coming off the back of their stellar full-length documentary ‘State of the Unity’, the third track on Far Out, “Paradise” sees The Bergamot at their jubilant best. Recorded alongside the other songs on the album in cupboards, rooms and cars across the USA, “Paradise” features the duo’s stunning upbeat writing and beautiful split vocal work on a song written about the yearning for freedom and learning to live again in a post-pandemic world.
