Marina Herlop - Nekkuja

While she was waiting for her last album 'Pripyat' to be released, Catalan composer and producer Marina Herlop was restless. She was concerned about her (by then) uncertain music career, and felt emotionally unmoored. "Some days I used to sit on the balcony of my flat to catch some sun,” she explains, "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." As the days dragged on, the fantasy deepened, and Herlop discovered that parts of the garden was withering; the energy she had been putting into the non-musical side of her life had seeped into her creative pasture and poisoned it. She knew what she needed to do to overcome the blight: plant some seeds and tend to her art to help it blossom and bloom once again. 'Nekkuja' is a place for Herlop's warmest, sweetest sentiments to rise to the surface and crack through the topsoil. She describes the record as a way for her to seek and affirm inner light, and it's undoubtedly her brightest, poppiest statement to date. The forward-thinking, experimental touches that nourished 'Pripyat' are still present, but blessed with a level of positivity that's rare to find in a scene so entranced by darkness and melancholy.

Marina Herlop’s Pripyat

[01110100011001110110001001110010]

Marina Herlop - "Pripyat" (2022)

Maybe feeling haunted by a voice is not too bad after all...

In all its beauty, Pripyat (2022) is haunting. Marina Herlop’s third album blends piano, electronics, and her extraordinarily expressive voice to establish a compelling and exhilarating otherworldly universe. The experimental Catalan composer introduces operatic upper-register vocals, while through vocal manipulation, she stretches the human voice to abstraction. Her voice moves through the ups and downs of disparate digital ornamentations, drum arrangements, and multidimensional textures that fall divinely into place within each track. Pripyat is a carefully crafted reflection of Herlop’s sentimental creative process that whirls far beyond mere aesthetics.

The infallible trinity of piano, voice, and electronics elevate the album to another level, the latter of the trio distinguishing the album from Herlop’s two works Nanook (2016) and Babasha (2018). "Abans Abans" chops up classical piano melodies and a whole minute passes before Herlop's delicate voice reaches our ears. Accompanied by subtle reverbs suggestive of a build-up, the track is sparked by the harsh entrance of ripply electronics that pulls the elements into a synchronous alliance. We are immersed in the unexplainably intriguing sphere of craftsmanship through “Shaolin Mantis”. The solid deconstructed drumming is coated with chant-like vocals and piano scale fractions drift in the particles of Herlop’s classical training.

The tracks exist far from a structured place with rigid rules and laws set in stone. Words are mere discordant harmonies smudged under abrasive electronics and drenched in water-logged chords. Herlop’s vocal experimentation reminds us of Björk’s playfulness but also extracts inspiration from the Carnatic music of Southern India and polyphonic Eastern European songs. In “Miu”, the syllables reflect the techniques of Carnatic singers mimicking drum sounds and the track draws meaning from sheer sound. “Kaddish” feels almost ritualistic of the way Herlop’s translucent high voice stretches over the sore lullaby. Her voice is accompanied by soft electric strings and eventually united with hyper-real synth bubbles that lure the listener deeper into the idiosyncratic wonders of Pripyat.

While Pripyat bears the name of an abandoned Ukrainian city, the eerie musical experimentation shines with limitless possibilities. Each small detail – from the snail bride album cover derivative of Eastern European folklore to the multi-lingual titles – comes together with the sublime sonic encounters carrying Herlop’s emotional endeavours. Pripyat is a boundless creative entity that grows with each listen.

36. Marina Herlop | Nekkuja

🇪🇸 Espagne | PAN | 27 minutes | 7 morceaux

Digne successeur de la petite merveille Pripyat sortie une quinzaine de mois plus tôt, ce Nekkuja poursuit en beauté le travail d’orfèvrerie réalisé par l’artiste catalane Marina Herlop. De l’art-pop qui trouve son inspiration aussi bien dans la composition d’avant-garde que dans la musique folklorique séculaire. L’effet de surprise du premier album est certes passé, mais l’émerveillement reste bien présent.
