Ventura-based indie folk-rock band One Hundred Paces returns with "N.Y.C.", a beautifully crafted folk-pop track that blends heartfelt storytelling with a rich, atmospheric sound. Led by singer-songwriter James Lombardo, this new single captures the essence of nostalgia, longing, and the ever-changing emotions tied to a city that never sleeps.
"N.Y.C." is a melodic journey, built on warm acoustic guitars, airy keys, and Lombardo’s evocative vocals. The track’s production—recorded by Elliott Lanham at Hidden City Studios—carries a cinematic quality, reminiscent of Death Cab for Cutie, Jason Isbell, and Iron & Wine. The instrumentation gradually swells, creating an intimate yet expansive soundscape that perfectly complements the reflective and bittersweet lyrics.
Formed in 2010, One Hundred Paces has built a reputation for their deeply emotive songwriting and atmospheric indie-folk sound. Their debut EP, released by Wednesday Records, gained major traction, with "The Rise and Fall" featured on MTV and Teen Mom 2. Their 2019 full-length album, "Between the Echoes", produced by Angus Cooke (The Ataris, Bad Astronaut), further cemented their place in the indie scene.
