Eighteen Nondi_ tracks, specially selected by Mike Paradinas for an exclusive bonus CD, available only from the Planet Mu store and bandcamp. Following her acclaimed 2023 release Flood City Trax, a dreamy, lo-fi take on footwork inspired by the crumbling rust-belt city she calls home, Nondi returns to Planet Mu with her second self-titled album, Nondi... While Nondi... retains some of the hazy, nostalgic atmosphere of Flood City Trax, it pushes her sound in bold new directions. "I made this album to capture the sense of freedom I used to get from music when I was first discovering it all," Nondi says. "It's meant to be cute, fun, kinda weird and emotional - but most of all, it's a presentation of some of the prettiest tracks I've made." Though she hasn't really experienced club culture where she lives, her impressionistic productions evoke the surreal, lingering sounds of a night out - the melodic haze that hums in your ears as you drift off to sleep. Lo-fi and melodic, yet fluid and free, her music carries a sense of flight and intuitive logic. Nondi's influences range widely - Actress, Aphex Twin, footwork, and the stranger edges of dub techno are all felt, yet she hallucinates them through her own weathered, dreamlike lens. Her tracks often build from clashing loops that evolve and transform organically, or from familiar genre elements reshaped by her instinct for misty, heart-wrenching melody. Nondi... is a uniquely moving and exploratory album that expands her sonic world even further. Lo-fi yet luminous, playful yet profound.
