Description
Years in the making, naemi’s ambitious, sprawling debut album for 3XL features contributions from Erika de Casier, Ulla, Huerco S, Ben Bondy, Florian TM Zeisig, NAP and label boss Shy, plus many others, on a gorgeously brooding double album braiding heart-liquifying dreampop guitars with weightless clouds of sublime ambience. A pensive and poetic celebration of love and friendship, it’s the most beautiful, vital music released by 3XL to date.
Formerly known as exael, naemi channels a broad spectrum of influences on ‘Dust Devil’. Billed as a "whirlwind road movie", it sums up naemi's last few years as a central node in Berlin's amorphous network of fringe producers, poets and artists. While the city might still be best known for its litany of cavernous, greyscale tourist dungeons, in the back rooms and all-night cafes there's been a perceptible counter; a loose faction of like-minded outsiders who have furrowed out a space where hypnagogic sounds, muzzy '90s pop, trip-hop, bass music and analgesic rap have slowly morphed into something new. Sounds that felt previously anathema to the Berlin experience have coalesced into a warm wave of psychedelic, healing romance, a phenomenon that anchors 'Dust Devil'
