Finnish avant garde, noise-rock two piece NYOS return with their sixth full-length release: ‘Waterfall Cave Fantasy, Forever’. Combining the mutant funk-punk looping of Battles with a cinematic wall of sound, NYOS continue to contrast their outstanding compositional complexity with live improvisations. First explored on the 2022 LP ‘Celebration’, this newfound call and response creative freedom on ‘Waterfall Cave Fantasy, Forever’ sees NYOS reach new heights of playful chaos and uninhibited, soaring joy. NYOS came to be when, in 2012, Leeds, UK-born Tom Brooke moved to Finland and soon crossed paths with drummer Tuomas Kainulainen who, having cut his teeth in the local punk scene, was ready to start something new. The connection was instant, with the duo establishing their distinctive, restless blend of math-rock, free jazz and harsh noise and writing their debut release, 2015’s six-part single ‘Vltava’, within their first few practices. The band haven’t stopped since then either, releasing six full-length albums and playing hundreds of shows around the world with international contemporaries including Zeal & Ardor, Esben & The Witch and The Comet Is Coming. With almost a decade of ceaseless creativity under their belts, the band’s forthcoming album finds NYOS exploring their unique dynamic as a duo; using crushing sawtooth distortion, delicate cymbal work and a powerful use of space to capture the immediacy and intimacy of their live shows to spectacular effect.
