NAYAD
Lofi indie pop band
NAYAD released their second EP "FAR AWAY FROM REASON", on the anniversary of their debut EP "
Neon Bedroom", which received huge media attention and collected over a million listens in total, on Spotify alone. With
strong choruses drenched in cassette tape warmth and a lofi shimmer over dirty pianos, NAYAD is ready to take the listener on a tête-á-tête
somewhere between Big Thief, King Crimson and Weyes Blood.
"We've taken a more acoustic and somehow more honest turn with "Far Away from Reason". Having never thought about more than one song at a time, we started from a specific feeling and built the EP from there,” says Pernilla, who sings in the duo.
"We started from the feeling of total safety, the kind that you were sometimes lucky enough to experience in childhood. As the years go by, you realise it's getting harder and harder to find your way back to that specific space. I don't know, it just makes me sad”, says Erik.
Die schwedische LoFi Indie Pop Band NAYAD hat ihre zweite EP "FAR AWAY FROM REASON" released und dabei ein wenig ihre musikalischen Koordinaten geändert. Etwas erdiger, akustischer, vielleicht auch ruhiger, haben sie es dieses Mal angelegt. Sechs Stücke, die durchaus bewegen, Melancholic Pop als Schlagwort.
Anspieltipps sind "Far Away from Reason", ein Song der alles mitbringt um ein Ohrwurm zu werden und die Charts erobern könnte; das sich nach Ewigkeit sehnende "You and I" oder auch der Opener "The Tree", der den leichten Kurswechsel eröffnet. Fazit: NAYAD und "Far Away from Reason", melancholischer Hörgenuss, der unter die Haut geht.
