Nymphlord – Shedding Velvet

Description

With nods to 90s alt and earlier folk music, Nymphlords debut album Shedding Velvet explores what happens when dreaming big starts to feel impractical: the friction between fantasy and reality. Its a collection of disillusioned and resilient coming-of-age anthems. Pleasantly off-kilter with a dry wit, the songs make you want to sing along even as they push away from traditional pop structures. Her vocals carve out gentle confessionals across the tracklist, underpinned by plucky acoustic guitars then engulfed by raw electric swells. Throughout Shedding Velvet, Nymphlord presents a portrait of identity in process, velvet peeled back to show the bone. Angsty, ethereal, dissonant, and hopeful, she welcomes you into her overgrown garden.
