Bristol, UK's NAUT took shape in 2016 and played their first show in September 2017, delivering drum machine-driven post-punk that fuses the atmospherics of 1980s cold wave with the energy of classic rock and metal. Their debut EP Raise the Lights preceded the 2019 EP Semele and the full-length debut Hunt (2022) via Season of Mist. The band's danceable yet abrasive sound balances synth-driven hooks with scything guitar work and propulsive bass.
