Release Notes:
Nadja is a duo of Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff from Toronto,
Canada creating what has been called "ambient doom" - music
that combines elements of metal, shoegaze, ambient, post-rock,
experimental, and neo-classical.
The debate over whether Nadja is a metal or an ambient band
has been long-standing, so they decided to put the issue to
rest once and for all by recording an album of covers from
some of their favourite bands. 'Consider this album an
exploration of the roots of Nadja: everyone compares us to My
Bloody Valentine, so we had to cover them; Codeine and Swans
were both bands exploring the heaviness of metal without
actually being metal (sound familiar?); The Cure have that
lovely, bittersweet gloominess; Elliott Smith's 'Needle in the
Hay' is simultaneously so simple and so devestating; no one
believed us when we said we covered a song from The Kids in
the Hall movie, a staple of our live set, so we had to get
that one to tape; how could we resist the opportunity to cover
A-ha's heaviest (but oh so catchy) tune? And Slayer is just
Slayer. In an effort to illustrate our motivations behind this
album, we asked our friend Mathew Smith to create a series of
children's-storybook-like drawings to go with each cover
song.'
