PREMIERE 'Airborne' Nemo
Listen to "Airborne" by Nemo taken from "Blue is the color of infinity" out on October 24th via Rhizome
Nemo is the musical moniker of songwriter and producer Emma Louise Ottsen Knudsen — perhaps best known as a member of critically acclaimed power trio Jenny, praised for their bold blend of punk energy and the delicate textures of electronic music in a unique brand of fantasy pop. With Nemo, she creates an uncompromising sonic universe where airy vocals and playful synths melt into melancholic guitar motifs and expansive soundscapes. Through her music, Nemo explores life’s vast mysteries — from the ocean’s depths to the far reaches of the cosmos — always from a socially critical perspective that questions everything from symbolic meaning to economic growth and technological progress.
On Blue is the Color of Infinity, Nemo lets herself be enveloped by the merciless vastness of the infinite — reminding us that what is larger than ourselves isn’t necessarily dangerous. It can also be a comforting blanket. A deep blue shield against indifference. A surrender to the intricate systems of nature that weave into each other, making us part of a greater whole.
“The color blue surrounds us. It slows our breathing and makes us blink less. We live on a blue planet, and we look into a blue sky. To me, the album feels like a still night, where the mirror-like sea reflects the stars, and I dive into the water to swim into the sky.” – Nemo
