Henry Nowhere makes music for the heart’s soft spots, and the state of California’s scenic ones, songs that feel like old photographs tucked in the corner of a mirror, faded by the sun and the passage of time. It’s the solo project of Henry Moser, who plays bass in Day Wave and who recently decamped from his Bay Area home to Los Angeles. On Sept. 1, Brooklyn-based Sleep Well Records will release Henry Nowhere’s two-song debut, “Don’t Care Where” and “Come Back From LA,” both made in his Oakland apartment. Moser evokes the troubadours of the ’60s and ’70s on “Don’t Care Where,” a warm-and-fuzzy paean to wanderlust that he wrote after returning from tour. “This song came to me over a series of long, aimless drives I took to decompress,” he says. “I can still feel those winding coastal California roads when I listen to it.”
