Nav Katze - Oyzac

Review by Joe Rayment

Nav Katze's album Oyzac is a mesmerizing journey through ethereal soundscapes and haunting melodies. The Japanese electronic duo, consisting of Naomi Higuchi and Junichi Takagi, have created a sonic world that is both otherworldly and intimate. The album is a seamless blend of ambient, techno, and trip-hop, with each track flowing into the next like a dream.

The opening track, "Happy?" sets the tone for the album with its hypnotic beat and Higuchi's ethereal vocals. The album then takes a darker turn with "Nobody Home" and "Wild Horse," which are both haunting and beautiful in their own way. The standout track on the album is "Never Not," which features a driving beat and a mesmerizing vocal performance from Higuchi.

Throughout the album, Nav Katze creates a sense of space and atmosphere that is truly captivating. The use of electronic instrumentation and Higuchi's vocals create a sense of intimacy that draws the listener in. The album is a perfect example of the power of electronic music to create emotional depth and complexity.
