Wasted Reflektions is NIA’s third album, which features nine songs and digs into the profound tranquillity that results from immersing oneself in the tumult of modern life. The frenetic synth-punk song Pale Rose, which features NIA’s cajoling and yelling over an electronic repeating beat, kicks off the album on the right foot. It has two extremely dismal tracks including guitar and ethereal, dark, or melancholy vocals like the Words Unspoken and Nightshades. Inspired by the late 70s synthwave the self title song Wasted Reflektions offers a cold minimalistic sound wrapped in whispers. On this album, NIA experiments with more melodic vocals, yet several songs have a faster tempo that is clearly based in her punk heritage. Berlin legends, T.Raumschmiere and Housemeister, have teamed up for their new release, ‘Samstag Nacht’, under their new collaborative project, T.Raumhouse. This new artistic duo stems from a friendship that spiralled over decades. They toured together from the 2000s and now aim to bring the 2000s nightlife back to Berlin. This new release encapsulates the 2000s through pulsating basslines, unearthly percussive samples, and signature vocoder vocals. ‘Samstag Nacht’ feels like a combination of retro, and spacey futuristic electro. The drums are gritty, and an element of underground punk lies within the track as the pace builds throughout. Supporting the track, is a new music video, also written and produced by T.Raumhouse, which features Joy Tyson, Livia Etelka & Rafi Sinn.
