Nadja - Dagdrøm

Artist: Nadja
Album: Dagdrøm
Genre: Drone, Shoegaze, Post-metal
Label: Broken Spine Productions
Year: 2012
From : Berlin, Germany

Tracklist
01. One Sense Alone 10:50
02. Falling Out Of Your Head 12:44
03. Dagdrøm 09:42
04. Space Time & Absence 14:11

Nadja is a duo of Aidan Baker & Leah Buckareff 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 endeavour & allow Nadja to perform live.

Nadja creates music that has been variously described as drone metal, ambient doom, and shoegazer, combining soundscapes, electronics, & atmospheric vocals with snail-crawl, epic riffs & dirge-like percussion, tempering the cacophany with a certain ethereal melodicism such that the listener is enveloped in a sublimating wall of amorphous sound.
