Nausicaa are an ethereal/noise rock trio who are fast building a cult following in Naarm/Melbourne.
Nausicaa take a completely DIY approach - recording, mixing, filming, and producing all their material with the help of only a select few close friends. They believe this keeps their music potent and visceral. Nausicaa shows weave between haunting minimalist textures and explosive noise catharsis - following in the footsteps of heroes Smashing Pumpkins, PJ Harvey and Sonic Youth.
Nausicaa’s recent shows include a sold-out and self-run shoegaze night, ‘Dreams Like These’; and supporting Naarm favourites Dopplerhaus and Fairtrade Narcotics. Critics write:
“…an enchanting sound, and combine airy vocals and engaging guitars perfectly.” - Darkenin Heart blog
“(Their) ability to create a dreamlike soundscape that draws on a range of influences, from shoegaze guitars to post-punk is impressive” - Plastic Mag UK
Nausicaa have been featured multiple times on DKFM Radio, and PBS and 3RRR in Naarm.
