Unchained is the long-standing guitar-based project of Nate Davis, originally from Providence, United States of America, and based in France for over 10 years.
Rooted in the polymorphous experimentalism of the 2000s East Coast underground, Unchained moves between intimate, home-recorded jazz, shimmering pastoral jangle, grainy synthetic rhythms, and humid ambient blur. On his two most recent albums, the 2024 Gabbeh on A Colourful Storm and the 2025 Frontalier on Stern Records, Davis strives to define a new path for outsider jazz instrumentalism, remaining committed to harmonic and rhythmic form while placing greater emphasis on sonic texture through experimental recording and mixing techniques.
