Angela Kitzmiller Holy shit. This is such an astounding piece of art. One of those lifetime soundtracks. Favorite track: Eyeshine.

Michael Blaskowsky I was introduced to Nym via the previous album, Convex, and put it on hard repeat for a looooong time. You know how you can get a little anxious with the second album of a band you really love, worrying that it won't hit the same way? This is not that album. In fact, it spurred me to purchase the rest of his work, which is all of the same ilk. Favorite track: Afterimage.

Ethan Liu Ethereal vibes of sountrack, chilling. The essence of the tracks is consistent, yet the variation and abundance are some sort of monotone like. Favorite track: Why You.

about

Lilac Chaser is an instrumental downtempo soundtrack to human sensory perception, and our attempts to map what is real. At times playful and sly, nostalgic and dangerous, Lilac Chaser blurs the line between between our senses and our surroundings -- our struggle to make sense of a vivid and complex material reality.

This album is for those who have followed the imagined cinematic journey that began in the dusty hills with “Warm Blooded Lizard” and contorted through the lens with “Convex.” Several of the songs revisit characters and places explored in songs like “Lesser Known Good,” “Come Back,” “Tall Talk,” and “Shortlife.”

Nym Durham, North Carolina

Melodic, beat-driven instrumental songs written by a gardener. These are stories about fighting disinformation, about rejecting moral panics, and about abandoning anthropocentrism.
