nihiti shy away from categorization like a vampire from sunlight. Their new record, for ostland, contains disparate elements of doom metal, post-rock, noise, drone, ambient, and more, unified by a systemically bleak central vision. They're the type of band often saddled with adjectives like "mysterious" and "unclassifiable"– descriptors that could be could be seen as a cop-out if we were talking about almost anyone else's music. Yet, as diverse as nihiti's influences are, "sun shatterer" still stands as an outlier in the soot-covered soundscapes of for ostland . As clearly-intoned lyrics evoke apocalyptic imagery, nihiti sound [...]

It's time to check out a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS if I only had the time. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. Listen. Downloadables: Where Are The Cities (mp3) by Rayon Beach Wait For Us (mp3) by Mind Spiders Do Right (mp3) by Milk [...]
Some dark and noisy sounds coming off this newly released Nihiti track, "My Fantasy Has Gone Too Far." I'm not sure what the specifics of this fantasy are, but it sounds pretty twisted from the industrial combination of bang-clang percussion unsettling synth drones. Check out the previous track to drop from this new album, " Ghosts and Lovers ," too. The project's forthcoming album, For Ostland will be out on May 27th.

Nihiti es un proyecto de Nuera York que ya habia llegado a pasar por mi radar en alguna ocasion solo que no habia tenido la oportunidad de compartirles algo de el y esto, puede que suene un tanto ilogico ya que aqui estoy practicamente todos los dias compartiendoles diferentes proyectos que en mi muy humilde opinion deben de ser escuchados pero ustedes comprenderan, a veces es imposible ponerles todo lo que me voy encontrando asi que hoy, para presentarles un poco a Nihiti lo hare a traves de este cover que postearon hace un par de semanas de una de [...]
It's been a while since something of this style really hit me, and I'm not sure if the project that created this song, nihiti, will do something like this again anytime soon. The reason being other tracks on this group's SoundCloud are much more acoustic by comparison . So not only is this track overbearing, noisy, and emotionally crushing, but it's a Marissa Nadler cover, too . With a simple electronic beat, rattling tambourine, and some funeral march-inspired chords, this track sounds like something that would find it's way onto a Giles Corey or Have A [...]

We thought we had a hold on Nihiti after hearing their 2010 debut album, Other People's Memories . It was a fine release, electronics and ambience in equal measure. But the group are back with something different, and it might just give them the attention they deserve. Their Faced with Splendor EP (released this month on Lo Bit Landscapes) had the group heading back to the studio, but leaving the synths at home?? It was time Bowlegs got some questions to the excellent Nihiti: Bowlegs: Your [...]

nihiti (purposefully lowercase) is a NYC psych-folk duo, and their cover of "The Orchids" by art rock vanguards Psychic TV is my pick for track of the week. The original version is so lo-fi it's barely audible, but the cover double tracks the vocal, which almost sounds triple tracked with added echo, to make sure the listener can understand each and every beautiful lyric. "And in the morning and the night, I fall in love with the light." The cello on top with violin underneath adds even more sweetness to an already tender song. Fans of everything from Califone to [...]

The Q magazine awards are literally laughable: insomuch as I literally laughed at the list of utterly predictable winners of their 'awards', which one suspects are awarded by a man who has been locked in a room with the same 10 records for the last 15 years. Generic, all-encompassing award for Coldplay ? Check. Obligatory nod to U2 ? Check. Devastatingly, soul-crushingly obvious spurious award to Lana del Rey ? Oh yes . Today, official ANBAD mascot, Alex James, awards Q Magazine - the music magazine that time forgot [...]

mp3: Nihiti - Pinko Morning Nihiti are probably one of the most mysterious and compelling bands working in New York right now. In the short time from their sprawling and epic ambient debut LP Other People's Memories to the stripped down elegance of recent ep Faced With Splendor , Nihiti have shown a unique diversity within their dark world of sonic landscapes. We thrilled and honored to have these guys at our first of three CMJ shows this week, Wednesday at Tandem Bar, Bushwick. The [...]

A few months ago, Nihiti put out a song named "The Ringing In (The Sun Is Rung)" and I became a fan of the vocal resemblance to Arcade Fire . This month, "Pinko Morning" is a hit with the release of Nihiti's first music video. It is also the first work from Perfect & Orbicular Productions, and directed by the band's Andy Xue. This video is a haunting love story with a couple and a knife. You can either put the pieces together or watch it below. Download: [...]

NY/Berlin electronic duo Nihiti have returned to the dark side . After last month's folk spun acoustic delicacies on the Faced With Splendor EP, Dracon Ostlks (who is associated with Altered Zones) and Viktor Timofeev recorded bass/drum/guitar machines for "Lit Up In Rows" this past August in Berlin under "romantic distress." Ostlks' pained vocals question the cold, rigid order of urban landscapes found on both sides of the Atlantic while exploring the possibilities of human connectedness, solidarity and renewal. As the track's layers build towards a triumphant culmination urging bodies to [...]

Can't help but describe this as a gentle cacophony; an "ebb and flow" of acoustic (lunatic) proportions. The normally very electronic Nihiti strips things way down for his new release: the Faced With Splendor short album. It debuts September 9th from Lo Bit Landscapes. Listen to and download the 2nd track, "Pinko Morning" below. Nihiti [...]

Nihiti have changed direction for the upcoming release Faced With Splendour. Instead of continuing with the electronic soundscapes and beats fans had gotten used to, they entered the studio with nothing but songs, acoustic instruments the results will raise the hairs on the back of your neck a little. Featuring a slow building acoustic verse before gentle rolling off the cliff into the unknown "Pinko Morning" just keeps giving all the while keeping you guessing as to what's around the corner. Let this stripped back and bare track share its vulnerability with you. [...]
