"Many have been silenced, but I have come to sing” Nahko returned with his 7th album TRENCHES released in late 2023. After three years of soul-searching personal revolution into sound, the record reflects more than a thousand days of open-hearted self-excavation, avid learning/unlearning, and radical internal re-calibration. “All of us have been through so much in the last three years,” mulled Nahko. “The messages on this album will really resonate with people who’ve been through the trenches of this pandemic and whatever they’ve lost and whatever they’ve gained.” Nahko was able to enhance his signature world music and folk stylings with echoes of everything from Juice Wrld and Taylor Swift to Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. TRENCHES is a frank expression of his musical journey and an eloquent response to recent personal controversy embraced by Nahko as his “liberation.” “I get to be rebirthed into this place where I get to call the shots,” he explained. “And it’s now moving out of the mentality of I’m just surviving to where I’m actually thriving” Nahko explained. “Coming out of the ashes, a phoenix rising, and how many times I’ve done that in my life.”
