More about:

German/Russian speaking Nicole Faux Naiv is previewing her debut album Moon Rally today with the project's title track. UK/Berlin based, Nicole makes dream-pop that piques a sense of being half awake and half asleep.

'Moon Rally' thrums with a radiant, somnambulant air:

On the process of writing the song, Nicole said: "A lot of the text was written while I was on the trains at night. I remember waiting at a train station one evening looking at the bright crescent moon in the night sky when out of a sudden a lost memory came over my brain — an abstract computer game I played as a child called something with ‘Moon Rally'".

Moon Rally arrives 8 April via Bronze Rat.
