MEDIUM BUILD’S FORTHCOMING ALBUM COUNTRY EXISTS AS A DUALITY, RUNNING THE SPECTRUM OF HUMAN EMOTIONS FROM PLAYFUL OPTIMISM AND VISCERAL AFFIRMATIONS OF LIFE TO HEARTBREAK, LOSS, FEAR, AND LONELINESS. RAISED IN GEORGIA, EDUCATED IN TENNESSEE, AND TRANSFORMED IN ALASKA, HIS STORIES SPEAK TO THE SPECTRUM OF THOSE EXPERIENCES AND EAGERLY DRAW OUTSIDE THE CLEAR LINES OF GENRE BINARIES – PULLING FROM CLASSIC COUNTRY, ‘80S NEW WAVE, '90S POP, AND EARLY 00'S EMO IN EQUAL MEASURE. IN ANOTHER ERA, MEDIUM BUILD MIGHT HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN A RHINESTONE COWBOY –
LONESOME OUT ON THE RANGE, A BLUE-EYED CROONER ON A SMOOTH-SAILING YACHT, OR A LEATHER-CLAD VIDEO STAR, BUT IN THE HERE AND NOW, HE’S NO ONE BUT HIMSELF.

Country comes as Medium Build grapples with the meaning of home. Country is about the journey (both physically & mentally) Nick’s been on to this point; it’s about high-highs and low-lows,
and you can feel Nick wrestle with the good and the bad on each of the album’s 12 songs.
The focus track on Country is “Stick Around”
