Particle Kid is the moniker for the experimental musical project of Micah Nelson, a prolific artist and the son of country music legend Willie Nelson. With a soundscape that defies rigid classification, Nelson weaves together elements of folk, psychedelic, and alternative rock, creating a unique tapestry that firmly establishes his own voice independent of his storied lineage. Having made his debut in the music world with the self-titled album "Particle Kid" in 2017, Nelson has quickly gained recognition for his fluid genre-hopping and evocative lyricism.

Over the ensuing years, Particle Kid has produced an expansive catalog of music that captures a journey through an ever-evolving sonic universe. Notable releases include "Everything Is Bullshit" and "Window Rock," which showcase Nelson's ability to comment on contemporary society with wit and introspection, all while pushing the boundaries of traditional song structures. His live performances, including the intimate "Live! Underground (Live at Ojai Underground Exchange, Ojai, CA, 12/6/2019)," demonstrate his command of the stage and ability to engage audiences with his multi-instrumental talents. Amidst a slew of singles and experimental pieces, the release "Time Capsule" is a testament to Nelson's growing prowess in capturing the zeitgeist of modern times within his hazy, introspective anthems.
