Nap Eyes return with The Neon Gate, their metamorphic fifth album, weaving together existential meditations, surreal landscapes, and spontaneous composition. Across nine tracks – some adapted from century-old poetry, others born from improvisational dream logic – the band expands their sonic and lyrical horizons. With pulsing rhythms, spectral synths, and recursive structures, they traverse medieval castles, deep space, and video game nostalgia, balancing wry humour with cosmic reflection. As ever, Nap Eyes question what a song is, where it might go, and what mysteries lurk beyond the gate, embracing the absurd, the profound, and everything in between.
