biografía : Nadja

NADJA is a duo of Aidan Baker (guitars, vocals, piano, woodwinds, drums) and Leah Buckareff (bass, vocals). NADJA originally began in 2003 as a solo project for Baker to explore the heavier/noisier side of his experimental/ambient guitar-based music. In 2005 Buckareff joined in order to make the project more than just a studio endeavour and allow NADJA to perform live. NADJA creates music that has been described as drone, ambient-doom, and shoegazer-metal. The duo combines soundscapes, electronics, and atmospheric vocals with snail-crawl, epic riffs and dirge-like percussion, tempering the cacophany with a certain ethereal melodicism such that the listener is enveloped in a sublimating wall of amorphous sound.

After several limited edition cdr releases, NADJA released their first official album "Truth Becomes Death" on Montreal's Alien8 Recordings in 2005. They have since released material for Conspiracy Records, Profound Lore Records, and Utech Records. They have performed in Canada, Belgium, Holland, and The United States, sharing the stage with, among others, such artists as Kayo Dot, Knurl, Khanate, Francisco Lopez, Isis, and Mare.
