Wasted Reflektions by Night in Athens
Wasted Reflektions is NIA's third album, which features nine songs and digs into the profound tranquillity that results from immersing oneself in the tumult of modern life. The frenetic synth-punk song Pale Rose, which features NIA's cajoling and yelling over an electronic repeating beat, kicks off the album on the right foot. It has two dismal tracks including guitar and ethereal, dark, or melancholy vocals like the Words Unspoken and Nightshades. Inspired by the late 70s synthwave the self title song Wasted Reflektions offers a cold minimalistic sound wrapped in whispers. On this album, NIA experiments with more melodic vocals, yet several songs have a faster tempo that is clearly based in her punk heritage. The album concludes with Emotions, an invitation to love fearlessly.

Burst forth from the heart of East London in 2020 and former keybordist of the post-punk band HAXON, is bringing with her a dark synth project that feels like a Gothic fairy tale gone wonderfully wrong. Her unsettling vocals and her haunting tunes are dynamic dirges, gleefully dragging skeletons from the closet to expose the rather grimy corners of the human condition.
