Subterranean Lovers is the latest project fronted by Vancouver songwriter Nikki Nevver (Terror Bird, Modern Creatures). Following a self-titled 2021 album, they're back with more material. "Brilliant Things" is the title track of a forthcoming album of the same title.
The song is a moody goth pop song, which begins as a quiet acoustic ballad before bursting into dramatic, baroque-tinged rock and culminating in layered guitar freakouts and a squalling sax solo.
A press release notes that the song was written with Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan's voice in mind — although obviously it's sung by Nevver.
Brilliant Things was recorded at producer Jordan Koop's Noise Floor Record Studio on BC's Gabriola Island. The band will support it with a Canadian tour in May with Patriarchy and M!R!M.
