Nadja has a new record, Luminous Rot, out next month. While they've already shared the title track for that, the group also unveiled special foots at Roadburn Redux a week ago that's now available to the general public. Titled "Seemannsgarn," the footage is 41-minutes in length and was recorded at The Black Lodge in Berlin.

The band explains:

Early in 2021, the Black Lodge and Salon Oblique invited us to participate in their series of filmed performances by Berlin artists. For this session, we chose to perform a new composition, Seemannsgarn, an extended, meditative piece we wrote about a liminal and tranquil green space/urban waterway in our quiet corner of Berlin, now in flux and with an uncertain future, threatened by gentrification and development.

"Seemannsgarn" is a standalone composition that is not on Luminous Rot, which releases May 21 on cd/digital and August 13 on LP through Southern Lord. Check out "Seemannsgarn" below.

Luminous Rot track list:

1. Intro
2. Luminous Rot
3. Cuts On Your Hands
4. Starres
5. Fruiting Bodies
6. Dark Inclusions

As a full on Nadja addict, Queller was immediately on my radar when I heard of its upcoming release; but as a “music critic” (that is what we do here right), Queller may just be one of the finest not quite hour of their impressive discography / existence to this point, which is an impressive feat considering how large and long that Aidan Baker … Read more

Do you find that at times you need to change your perspective on something or someone, and if so how exactly do you gain that fresh perspective? For my part, gaining a fresh perspective usually means walking away from something for a period of time and coming back with a regained enthusiasm and excitement to dive back into whatever it … Read more

The Miskatonic Sound Lab (2012)

Being an acquired taste is a blessing for some bands as they get to be as adventurous as they could ever want to be and their “fan” base usually will go along with them, and Nadja is most definitely one such band that truly benefits from such an underground status or descriptor (what have you). In any case, listening to the re-issue … Read more
