Nap Eyes - ‘The Neon Gate’ 140g black vinyl LP.

After 3 years of silence, the Canadian band Nap Eyes have returned with their own meditations on the monstrous and familiar (or the monstrously familiar). ‘The Neon Gate’, their metamorphic 5^th long-player, collects a cache of 9 fascinating reveries recorded over the 4 years since their last album, ‘Snapshot of a Beginner’ (5 of which were released episodically throughout the spring and summer of 2024). “I See Phantoms of Hatred and of the Heart's Fullness and of the Coming Emptiness,” the album’s colossal penultimate track, is, along with “Demons,” their languorous adaptation of a phantasmagorical poem by Russian Romantic Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837), one of two ambitious but adept adaptations in which singer and principal songwriter Nigel Chapman unravels knotty, century-old verse into a fluid, memorable melodies across the loom of the band’s pulsing instrumental syncretism.

This LP is released on Friday 11th October.
