The First Law was started in 2010 around the music of singer/songwriter Nate Flaks. In 2012, the New York based band released their debut album, Talking of Michelangelo, which Liecester Bangs described as “a collection of heartfelt songs with ambitious arrangements and roots in indie and cinematic rock.” In December they will be releasing their second album, She Traveled With Me, which embraces and expands on the cinematic-rock style of their earlier work.
