Herbivores Drop ‘Nightshades’ EP Before The Year Ends

Straight outta Brooklyn, the Herbivores have released their latest EP, Nightshades. Picking up right where they left off on their self-titled debut EP, which was released back in the summer, the Herbivores have dropped five tracks just before the end of the year for us to listen to. Nightshades, written by all four members of the exciting and seasoned collective – Bel-Ami, Reddaz, Misha Savage and Will Sacks, and produced by Savage and Sacks, and engineered by Joe Lambert.

Reflecting the anger, sadness and frustration, coupled with contrasting moments of joy that we’ve
all been feeling in 2020, Nightshades unpacks how these feelings play out in a relationship – from
the opening track ‘Walk Away’, which speaks of coming to the realization of what truly matters, and
‘Mama’s Nose’ about the virtues of patience, to the southern soul leaning ‘Boomerang’ and the
personal breakup post-mortem song ‘Roses’, to the EP closing track and one of the collective’s
most vulnerable songs ‘Weak Bones’, which unpack how relationships can often be testing.

When asked about the inspiration behind their Nightshades EP, the collective say, “Wherever there is light there is a shadow. ‘Nightshades’ refers to a group of vegetables including tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes and peppers, the name came from the ancient belief that these plants grew in the dark of night. A definite contrast to the summery breezy demeanour of our first EP, ‘Nightshades’ circles themes of frustration and regret. The EP is dripping with acidity: dark, volatile, and cagey by nature – it continues the love story that was captured in our first EP but traces it into its climactic downward spiral into grief, anger, and separation”.
