Nate‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Todd's "Tellus": A cosmic wake-up call to earth.

"Tellus" - A‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ love song to Earth disguised as a cosmic revelation.

By his extravagant soundscapes and a storyline that feels like a film, Nate Todd, a Denver local producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, is actually a major exception. His creative work is not only very accessible but also extremely strong since he combines the components of rock, psychedelia, and dream pop in his ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌music. Nate Todd’s new single “Tellus” is unique and anthemic. Following the example of artists like King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Todd performs the reflective and future-oriented pieces that attract the listener’s attention.

"Tellus" by Nate Todd is halting somewhere between a dream and a nightmare, as the song's ethereal intro gradually turns into a psychedelic, groovy ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌reflection.

The single’s lo-fi approach, its hazy vocals, and the hypnotic synths cohere with this cosmic feeling of closeness. The lyrics are also spot on, being both very nostalgic and very cautionary; in fact, the record could serve as a love letter to the earth with the warning thrown in of what we are losing. The song's lazy groove is the thing that makes the song work so great, as the contrast of its heavier message shows the song at its most understated power.
