about

Nia Archives' first EP Headz Gone West was made mainly in the early hours of the morning in her cramped bedroom studio last August and muses the turbulence that Nia has experienced with her familial relationships. “It’s kind of emotional, but because I’m making jungle it balances it out,” she jokes. The lo-fi title track muses insomnia with an instrumental that sounds like the first rays of sunshine breaking over a hungover day. ‘(Over) Thinking’ includes an indie-inspired jungle beat over lyrics that deplore Nia’s own tendency to overthink relationships and situations. ‘Crossroads’ began as a hip hop track and was one of the first tracks Nia ever produced. It’s an emotional song that ponders her relationship with her mum, who she hasn’t seen in five years. ‘Sober Feels’ is a pained ode to the comedown over a salsa-esque beat; ‘Don’t Kid Urself’ is more garage than jungle and is an empowering proclamation of worth to boys who don’t deserve her.

Sully with an absolute instant classic. Signature machine gun resonant snares form a pulsating melody for a ridiculous percussive masterpiece underpinned by some of the wobbliest bass I've ever had the pleasure to hear. Jake Knight
