“Take It That Way” by “The Flat Nasty” is not just a great track, but one of those accompanying visual streams that is more of a short movie than a music video. Really impressive; sounds great, feels powerful and optimistic, energetic, yet soft and sensitive in many ways – easy to feel involved in, and pretty compelling on the whole.

The Flat Nasty is  a band based in Atlanta, GA. They appeared to us quite abruptly, as if in a dream, though they’ve been around for quite a while now and are hugely popular within their local scene.We’re extremely excited to hear more from them. The Flat Nasty arrived in 2020 with its promising debut single “Not Every Day’s a Country Song,” which tips its hat to the long history of sad songs in the genre. On its second single.

I felt a great sense of peace, even relief, when I first heard “Take It That Way.” The musical simplicity of it was baffling, as it really hits hard, both emotionally, and just in general how damn good it is. There’s no black and white as to why a song like this should work so well, but the mystery is undoubtedly a part of the very clear and immense level of skill the band have as musicians, not to mention their vocal ability; in it’s gentleness, it’s harmonious, almost whispering expression, and then there is that unique ability they have to tell what is seemingly a very personal story, yet at the same time makes you drift off and think about one of your own. The true magic of music is reignited with this song, and it’s a magic we could all use a little reminder of right about now.

“Take It That Way” with some really gorgeous lyrics and vibe and at the same time this whole thing will catch your soul within a second. I love the infrequent but hypnotizing flicks of the solo guitar, and I absolutely adore the way the chorus kicks in, and the way it very suddenly stops to take you back to the verse. They stop playing, we stop being distracted by the world, and that wonderful effect occurs that lets you really escape and consider existence, and your role within it.
