Nima: “Wet Dream”.

March 29, 2011, 1 comments

Completely ravished by the fragile and enchanted, pristine lo-fi pop by Irvine, California’s Kristine Lirio aka Nima, who just released her debut cassette Demon + Wet Dream via our cherished Southern Californian imprint Bridgetown. The C25 is filled with slow, ethereal casiotones and hushed, reverberated piano melodies driven by simple rhythm patterns seemingly recorded on the cheapest drum machine available, a fact that gives the whole thing that kind of honest bedroom feel that so many young talents fail to fake nowadays. The most outstanding, almost devastating feature however is Lirio’s frail yet assertive voice, evoking an intimate atmosphere that makes the listener feel virtually intrusive.

Listen to the b-side’s title track below, and stream the whole recording over here. As usual, the pro-dubbed cassette is available directly via Bridgetown. Edition of 100.

    Great music, but the vocals are really buried in most of the recordings, I wish I could hear them more. :)
