Nihilistic Easyrider
Nihilistic Easyrider is the brainchild of Narrow Head frontman Jacob Duarte. His debut LP "DELUXE EDITION" is a mixtape of sorts, a collection of songs written at various intervals throughout Duarte’s career. These songs traverse a wide-range of stylistic references, from saccharine Y2K emo and young-dumb-and-full-of pop punk to Soviet fuzz fueled alt and pure Evan Dando-core verse-chorus-verse-chorus-done pop rock. Brought to life by a cast of characters including Narrow Head drummer Carson Wilcox, producer (and former tour-mate) Graham Hunt and features from Momma’s Allegra Weingarten and Ella Friedman, this debut album still provides with masterfully crafted and hook-drenched renditions of Duarte’s signature songwriting aesthetics.

July 25, 2025Nihilistic Easyrider, the solo project of Jacob Duarte, frontman of Narrow Head, is set to release his debut LP "Deluxe Edition" on July 25, 2025 via Run for Cover Records. The album features a mix of songs that span Duarte's career blending Y2K emo, pop punk, fuzzed out 90's alt rock, and pop influences, brought to life by a talented cast of collaborators, including Narrow Head drummer Carson Wilcox, producer (and former tour-mate) Graham Hunt and features from Momma’s Allegra Weingarten and Ella Friedman. Duarte’s introspective songwriting delves into themes of human emotion, with the lead track “Getaway Plan” offering a glimpse into his poignant and melodic storytelling style. Deluxe Edition shares much of Narrow Head’s affinity for examining the tortured substratum of human emotion, while promising a collection of masterfully crafted and hook-drenched renditions of Duarte’s signature songwriting aesthetics.
