NAP EYES hail from
Nova Scotia and make crooked, literate guitar pop refracted through the gray
Halifax rain. Recorded live to tape with no overdubs, their songs are equal
parts shambling and sophisticated, with one eye on the dirt and one trained on
the starry firmament, inhabiting a skewed world where odes to NASA and the
Earth's magnetic field coexist easily with lyrics about insomnia and drinking
too much. In the world of Nap Eyes, workaday details punctuate (and puncture)
cosmic concerns, as songwriter, singer, and rhythm guitarist Nigel Chapman
wrestles with air and angels, struggling (and often failing) to reconcile the
Romantic rifts, both real and imagined, that define our lives: between chaos
and order; solipsism and fellowship; the anxiety of social (dis)orders both big
and small; and the various intersections and oppositions of religion, art, and
science. It's the sound of being young and alive in the city, a tenuous and
impermanent counterpoise of recklessness and anxiety, archness and earnestness.
Following the reissue of their 2014 debut 'Whine of the Mystic' on Paradise of
Bachelors, Nap Eyes released an album of all-new material entitled 'Thought
Rock Fish Scale' last year, following that up with two incredible London shows!
