With all of its frantic twists and turns, History has not been keeping still lately and we certainly can’t blame you for losing track of this years’ freshest releases. Although January is traditionally a rather quiet month for music, this past month proved to be a refreshing exception to the rule and we at NRW decided to compile our favourite releases from the past month.

Recorded in September of 2020 in an East London studio amidst a UK lockdown, Live At Pink Bird breathes redefines the boundaries of Vaporwave by rearranging Donor Lens’ back catalogue for a 6-piece live band performance.

Vocalist Jana Tyrrell takes the lead on vocals and delivers a gripping performance on this 8-track voyage into pure cosmic bliss where the likes of Vaporwave, Synthwave and Future Funk collide and converge. Tune in, sit back and get ready to drift off into pure bliss.
