NAQOY Brings Noise, Drone and Post-Punk on Latest Album ‘Art Brut’
Budapest, Hungary’s NAQOY recently dropped their latest album, ‘Art Brut,’ on December 8, 2023, via Forbidden Place Records.
Budapest, Hungary, is home to NAQOY, a two-piece project sitting pretty in the crosssection of noise-rock, post-punk, electronic and drone. The band recently dropped their latest album, Art Brut, on December 8, 2023, via Forbidden Place Records. The release marks the third instalment of their “Triptych” series of releases, Into the Fog (2020) and four (2022) being the first two.
The band comments on the record, stating:
“This is the imprint of the processing of our last years, which has been emotionally and physically highly turbulent and grueling with a lot of self-doubt, discouragements, depression, burnout and forgiveness…”
Having already played well across Europe, including concerts in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria (Hyperborea Festival, Third Man Festival), the duo aims to spread their sound as far and wide as possible.
Reflecting on their latest release, they add:
“It is also a meditation about art and self-expression and an attempt to signal consolation to some of those (not just artists), who feel they are somehow stuck outside of an establishment. The songs are reflections of the stages of a path from being unaware and skeptical of your own abilities (Maze) to accepting the journey to the totality to your own self (Leaves always fall in silence).
If you can understand or have experienced these feelings before, you will understand what is behind the tracks of Art Brut and why we have chosen to put them in this form as you hear them…”
