why we love this
Voice is a focal instrument—smoldering in a breathy haze, warm and glistening like a honey-soaked glaze, and powerful like a battle cry, inciting action. Layered over percussives that accentuate the tones and textures, Nant offers an elegant, sharp, and dynamic album that highlights the interplay of these two powerful sonic forms.
about the record
Squama regulars Enji and Popp join forces on Nant, the debut LP by their newly minted duo, Poeji, exploring the confines of post-dub and downtempo. 2022’s three-track EP, 031921 5.24 5.53, released as a limited run of dubplates, was the first testament to their open approach to writing, which takes only very basic ideas and relies on non-verbal communication to define form and pace.
Enji’s vocals are less center-stage than in her solo endeavors, piercing through reverb plates and guitar pedals, while Simon inked his signature set of wooden and metal percussions with chains of tape echoes and analog delay.
Listening to Nant as a snapshot of Poeji’s artistry at a certain time and place can instill a sense of gratitude within the listener that something so fleeting can be captured.
