What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

New on Alien 8 is a strand of what I term the New Goth. Nadja's "Touched" continues the field ploughed by the likes of those other heavy romantics: Sunn, Earth etc. Swirling-drift, led washes developing into doom laden claustrophobic drone tones with an under laying nod towards some sort of melodic structure. I've just been informed that they're more like Jesu and it's apparent throughout that they meld the histrionics of "shoegazing" with the darkness of our times.

What the label says:

Alien 8’s second release by the up and coming ambient doom band Nadja. Imagine Sunno))) meets Swans. It’s that heavy. And that good.
Nadja is Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff. Baker, the project’s founder is an insanely prolific musician under his own name and has released solo work for such prestigious labels as Germany’s Die Stadt, as well as countless CD and
CD-R releases all over the world.
As well as being influenced by the like old Swans/Earth, Nadja take inspiration from artists hailing from the dark
ambient and electronica fields such as ambient noise artists Fennesz or Justin K. Broadrick’s Jesu project. Like the
previous release ‘Truth Becomes Death’, ‘Touched’ is ambient music being pushed to it’s breaking point.
Nadja have recently toured or opened for the likes of ISIS, Khanate, Tim Hecker, Troum, Fear Falls Burning, Helios Creed and the End among countless others.
Tracklist:
1. Mutagen  2. Stays Demons  3. Incubation/Metamorphisis  4. Flowers of Flesh

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
