Odd Nosdam
and
Rayon
(
Markus Acher
of
The Notwist
) team up for this beat-driven psychedelic pop EP. Long-time musical pen pals and partners
David Madson
(aka Odd Nosdam) and Markus Acher (aka Rayon) re-establish the connection between Weilheim, Germany and Berkeley, California for the first time since 2011, when US alt hip-hop innovators Themselves and German indie electrifiers
The Notwist
teamed up to form
13 & God
. Nosdam and Rayon return with a heavy-hitting collaborative EP
From Nowhere to North
. Based on a shared love for "obscure albums and '60s/70s melancholy psychedelia," they started working remotely in 2017, ultimately deciding to release four collaborative tracks that feature Madson's beats, samples, and production, with Acher adding vocals, guitars, more samples, and various instrumental layers. Psychedelic pop melodies sail over steady beats on the opener "From Nowhere to North" -- a track that perfectly sets the tone for the whole EP. Elsewhere, fuzzy lights over the "Desert" and more reassuring beatscapes serve as compass to stay the course, while "Bow and Arrow" feels fairly mesmerizing: fast-moving layers, moving up and down, floating over the Atlantic, northward bound. Closing out the EP is "Colours / Heavy Load", an epic ten-minute finale: after the raw and gritty lo-fi acoustic intro, the first part comes with a grainy guitar tune that soon leads to a vast plateau; once up there, things feel surprisingly serene and soothing -- like the last warm rays of October light slowly fading as we move further north. Both huge fans of Bristol's late '90s DIY/post-rock scene (e.g.
