#PREMIERE 'Monster' Nemo
Listen to 'Monster' by Nemo out now via Rhizome
Nemo’s new single ‘Monster’ unfolds in a nightmare where the narrator confronts the fear and alienation she provokes in others. With lines like “I call for help / But my mouth sewn shut / Reach out but my claws fray / Everything I touch, ” the listener is drawn into a dark state of desperation and isolation. Nemo’s distinctive, almost naive vocals stand in sharp contrast to the pounding drums and distorted textures, creating an underlying unease that permeates the entire track. With ‘Monster’, Nemo merges fragility and ferocity in an intense tale of being trapped in one’s own nightmare.
Looking forward to releasing the album ‘Blue Is The Colour of Infinity', Nemo has made her mark in the Copenhagen underground scene with her dreamy sound and quirky DIY approach. In her blue universe, punk’s raw energy meets the delicate textures of electronic music in a unique brand of fantasy-pop. Behind the detailed productions Nemo stands as a distinct songwriter who explores life’s mysteries—from the depths of the ocean to the infinity of the cosmos—within a socio-critical view, where economic growth and technological progress are questioned.
Shaped by her time in the punk band Pogo Polis and the critically acclaimed power trio Jenny, Nemo has crafted an uncompromising sonic universe where airy vocals and playful synths melt into melancholic guitar motifs and dark themes. Her music has caught the attention of major media outlets, receiving praise from the danish music magazine Soundvenue and airplay on Danmarks Radio. Internationally, she has also been spotlighted by magazines such as Swine Daily and Test FM for her lead-up to the album release.
Nemo releases through Rhizome, a Copenhagen-based label founded by Aria Leth Schütze and Mads Krue Bugge in 2020. Rhizome is dedicated to experimental music and alternative release formats, with a strong focus on Copenhagen’s underground scene. In addition to various releases, the label has put out compilation albums such as bag/belly/box and Hypersea.
