Nant LP

Squama regulars Enji and Popp join forces on Nant, the debut LP by their newly minted duo Poeji, exploring the confines of Post-Dub and Downtempo. 2022’s 3-track EP 031921 5.24 5.53, released as a limited run of dubplates, was the first testament to their open approach to writing, which takes only very basic ideas and relies on non-verbal communication to define form and pace. Enji’s vocals are less centre-stage than on her solo endeavors, piercing through reverb plates and guitar pedals while Simon inked his signature set of wooden and metal percussions with chains of tape echoes and analog delay. Listening to Nant as a snapshot of Poeji’s artistry at a certain time and place
