NYOS | Facebook | Bandcamp
NYOS, are an instrumental duo based in Jyväskylä, Finland and will release their second album, Nature on September 30th. The band formed 2014 when UK-born Tom Brooke (formerly of Leeds-based, Khuda) and drummer, Tuomas Kainulainen met after Tom moved to Finland in 2013. Bonded by a mutual love of noisy bands, coffee and playing shows, they wrote their first record Vltava, a 26 minute one-track piece, over the winter of 2014 and from early 2015 have been touring as much as possible!
Between tours they’ve been working away at Nature, which was recorded in June 2016 at Tonehaven Studio in the countryside of Central Finland, and is a 6 track album filled with building loops and tones ranging from heavy, almost doom-laden riffs, faster jazz-influenced math-stuff with a bunch of post-rock melodies, and the occasional drone thrown in! ‘Was That a Lion?’ is the 4th track on the record and is streaming here:
