“The smoggy haze of fuzz and scuzz that permeates the Berlin-based doom-gaze duo’s albums is so relentless and all-consuming that it starts to feel as comforting and commonplace as oxygen” (pitchfork.com)
Nadja and Vampilia have collaborated twice, the results of which were released via Important Records and Throne Records respectively.
