NOSTALGHIA (MX) - Departure
Digipak CD
Delicate like the intermission of a lucid dream irrevocably poisoned, restrained as if the final note left crumpled inside one’s pocket, forever unseen -- walls and shapes and souls of the concrete dwellings have to give out first, just for the forgiving of one single life -- one single passing. Awakened, as time and its siblings flowsback into symmetries of hours, and realize that Home is the distance between Light and your unwrithed fingers -- reaching out to the Afterimages of Happiness, remaining breathes, prayers in your mother tongue. Life. Death. A more appropriate Word. What’s been divided will rejoin, at least you can hope for the unreachable, with the crackling of words and pages closer to your heart, in hope that Mercy and Grace can finally send you back, to the long-sought deliverence, hailing down onto you, with all Its Golden.
Blending meticulously elements of Jazz, neoclassical, and melodic BM, NOSTALGHIA’s latest full-length is easily a highlight of 2026. Full of unexpecting turns, almost like a theatrical performance on stage, the highly eclectic soundscape of this album is divided by modes and movements -- sometimes viscerally, sometimes detachedly -- linked to the protagonist’s narration: scintillating, nostalgic, while also extravagant with countless dreamlike colors: from the dead bottom of a regretting soul, to the (dis)quiet AFTER the final reconciliation.
FFO: Kaatayra, Pensées Nocturnes, and Devil Doll
