Nadja – blissed out heavy shoegaze Class A narcotics. A Berlin via Toronto duo of doomy fuzz rock, MBV-worshipping, droney slowed-down metal. Walls of sound produced with bass, guitar, way-gone vocals (that are indecipherable, so no FCCs), drum machine, and some synth. It’s all gorgeous, heavy, and belly button gaze-y. Definitely the kind of music I put on when trying to attract a mate. Check out their covers record in the library for their epic, catatonic, “wrap-me-up-in-a-blanket” versions of Swans, Codeine, MBV, and Cure songs. Also RIYL: Jesu, Sujo, Earth.

*1. Lovely head-nodding swirl. 2-chord build to more dissonant and blasting chorus/bridge. (9:35)
2. Continues the formula: off-kilter start/stop rhythm and spacey parts lead into twinkling yet pounding chorus. (10:42)
3. Slower, doomy sparse vs. enveloping buzzz. (10:11)
*4. Metal. Huge wash of trudging, swirling chaos. (9:58)
