About the Band

NYLAS

While NYLAS is performing, AJ and Arny often accompanied by inde DJ Punk Can, stare rapt at their laptops as Labi holds the microphone and fills the area with her ethereal voice. The result is downtempo electronica with splinters of indie pop. The group has recorded soundtrack music for independent films, released a couple short EPs and appeared on an FNAC compilation. The members are also involved in various underground productions around Taiwan as well as another indie-pop group called WE SAVE STRAWBERRIES.

PACIFICTION REVIEW:

Showing a different side to the usually dark and cryptic downtempo meanderings of NYLAS, the Sunny Circus single is a bright Sunday walk through the park. The title track begins with video game sounding electro-pop before the cutesy twee vocals emerge. Opening with an airy rain forest (as opposed to jungle) vibe, "Love for Free" breaks down into a light tribal shuffle leaving the listener with images of bright greens and yellows to meditate upon. The acoustic version carries the same melody, but has a campfire pop feel with it's natural tones and bongo drums. These few songs show that NYLAS has a very diverse approach to pop music.
