Now Ex

Now Ex

Now Ex is a multi-dimensional pop project that could only exist right now. The musical pseudonym for singer-songwriter and critically acclaimed film director, Nick Hampson, Now Ex was started as a pop vehicle for the big screen. Nick’s films and music have a lot in common – they both create and explore parallel worlds that are anchored by a painful euphoria, by a hunger for life that is somehow tinged with deep sadness. It’s music that traverses landscapes and social boundaries, that moves from urban metropolises to the barren vistas of the flyover states. There’s a visual quality to everything Now Ex that’s distinctly current, and overwhelmingly timeless from bar to bar, all centred around Nick’s emotional and somewhat operatic vocals. We live in an age of visual communication, and Now Ex plans to do this in a way no pop project ever has before.
