There’s a lot of good stuff arising from Denmark. Records that challenge the status quo, often bridging the gap between evocative pop and leftfield sound design. Nemo is at the forefront of such a potent scene, hailing from Copenhagen with her blend of expansive, lush art-pop and cinematic haziness. Part melancholic and part wondrous, ‘Blue is the Color of Infinity’ is the perfect evidence of it, a monumental, thematic record marking Nemo’s latest effort.
In it, listeners will reckon with Nemo’s visionary artistry, as she unfolds an aural experience steeped in symbolism and cathartic lyricism. Packed with nine astounding pieces, the album is deeply rooted in the nature around us, often drawing a parallel between unquestioned natural beauty and societal struggles. The goal is to rewire our perception, allowing us to observe reality with newly found consciousness. That’s perhaps why ‘Blue is the Color of Infinity’ feels so hypnotic and dreamy, aiding a great deal of escapism and melancholia.
It’s a record we can lose ourselves to. Not forever, just for a short while, fully mesmerised by Nemo’s otherworldly, spacious and sacred vocals. Delving deeper into the album, the Norwegian talent explains: “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.”
