Nick & June float in a glittering fog of trilling synthesizers, gentle beat and drum pulses and vibrating organ sounds. Embedded in dark reverb guitars, the bitter-sweet paired voices of Suzie-Lou Kraft and Nick Wolf lead through euphorically staged restraint and spun ramifications of thought. An idiosyncratic, abstract sound emerges and flows into lonely, beautiful indie folk and dream pop. Bon Iver, Beach House, The National or Lana Del Rey beckon through the reverb veil.
After their last successful album "My November My" and a long creative break, the indie duo released their new, cinematic EP "Beach Baby, Baby" in 2023 as the first sign of life in a new era. The songs are atmospheric, with a warm and gritty production. Spacious, with plenty of room for enchanting melodies and the harmoniously merging voices of the two - with pictorial lyrics that set your head spinning. If "Beach Baby, Baby" were a movie, it would probably be a washed-out analog film from Sofia Coppola's early work. In the studio and on stage, Nick & June circle between guitars, ukuleles, shimmering mandolins and deep basses, between old Casio keyboards and reverberant wind instruments, playful percussion, drum machines and distorted glockenspiel sounds.
