Catalan experimental artist Marina Herlop has announced a new album, Nekkuja. It’s out October 27 via Pan. The follow-up to 2022’s Pripyat features new song “La Alhambra.” Give it a listen below.
“Some days I used to sit on the balcony of my flat to catch some sun,” Herlop said in a press release. “I would close my eyes and start visualizing myself as a gardener, pulling out purple weeds from the soil, every bad memory or emotion I wanted to expulse being one of the plants.” Nekkuja, the album’s announcement explains, is Herlop’s conceptual garden.
