On their new record, nykolaes & Daniël Paul explore the pastoral side of folk and 90’s grunge nostalgia, guitars leading the way. Diary shredded to bits, church bells sound the crack of dawn and sometimes you have to wake up, sometimes u don't. Folk in the age of cut and paste, an intimate collage of references, blind inspiration, and intuition.

nykolaes & Daniël Paul both bring their own styles to the project, nykolaes’ pro-post-anti-singer-songwriter modernism and Daniël Paul’s intimate, eyes wide open lo-fi-mumble-folk. Together they bring soft-spoken songs that combine guitar, DIY instruments and simple electronic elements, with vocal performances harmoniously in and out of tune, pitched to satisfaction. Never stuck in a tape loop, singing the shed saw.
