What their label says...

Nadja is a duo of Aidan Baker (guitars/vocals/piano/woodwinds/drums) & Leah Buckareff (bass/vocals) currently based in Toronto, Canada. Nadja originally began in 2003 as a solo project for Baker to explore the heavier/noisier side of his experimental/ambient guitar-based music. In 2005 Buckareff joined in order to make the project more than just a studio endeavor & allow Nadja to perform live.
Nadja creates music that has been variously described as drone metal, ambient doom, and shoe gazer, incorporating influences from such diverse artists as Swans, Godflesh, My Bloody Valentine, & Codeine. Nadja combines soundscapes, electronics, & atmospheric vocals with snail-crawl, epic riffs & dirge-like percussion, tempering the cacophony with a certain ethereal melodicism such that the listener is enveloped in a sublimating wall of amorphous sound.
After several limited edition CDR releases, Nadja released their first official album "Truth Becomes Death" on Montreal's Alien8 Recordings in 2005. They have since released material on Conspiracy Records, Profound Lore Records, & Archive Records, & have forthcoming material with The End Records & Crucial Blast Records.
