Nadja Review under A Storm Of Light & Nadja – Primitive North Nadja – When I See The Sun Always Shines On TV, “RELEASE NOTE…” is a duo of Aidan Baker (guitars/vocals/piano/woodwinds/drum programming) and Leah Buckareff (bass/vocals) from Toronto,Canada creating what has been called ambient doom – music that combines elements of metal, shoegaze, ambient, post-rock, experimental, and neo-classical.
The debate over whether Nadja is a metal or an ambient band has been long-standing, so they decided to put the issue to rest once and for all by recording an album of covers from some of their favourite bands.
Consider this album an exploration of the roots of Nadja: everyone compares us to My Bloody Valentine, so we had to cover them; Codeine and Swans were both bands exploring the heaviness of metal without actually being metal (sound familiar)…
The Cure have that lovely, bittersweet gloominess; Elliott Smiths Needle in the Hay is simultaneously so simple and so devestating; no one believed us when we said we covered a song from The Kids in the Hall movie, a staple of our live set, so we had to get that one to tape; how could we resist the opportunity to cover A-has heaviest (but oh so catchy) tune And Slayer is just Slayer.
In an effort to illustrate our motivations behind this album, we asked our friend Mathew Smith to create a series of childrens-storybook-like drawings to go with each cover song.
