In the starlit realm of Melbourne's ethereal soundscape, Nausicaa emerges as a mesmerizing duo, crafting Night Music that bewitches the soul. Their third single, 'Crystalline,' released on a celestial night of July 14th, 2023, weaves a dreamy love song, with abstract verses and subtle vocal and guitar allure. In the harmonious tapestry of inspiration, echoes of The Cocteau Twins, cast their spell upon Nausicaa's creation.
Kristen's ethereal voice, a hypnotic charm, resonates with crystalline clarity, illuminating the music's velvety depths. As co-writers, Kristen and Dave conjure nocturnal visions, tapping into the night's endless wellspring of symbols and inspirations. Night poetry by Federico Garcia Lorca and Rainer Maria Rilke becomes the essence of their muse, with stars, moon, the gothic, and the enigmatic unknown weaving tales within their melodies. In this nocturnal journey, Nausicaa blossoms, unveiling their captivating night music with power and grace, casting a spell that lingers in the heart's embrace.
