Description:

Former Goat Girl Neyma Bock (Neyma Jerry) completes her new album. Two years after her acclaimed last album, her second album, "Below A Massive Dark Land," produced mainly by herself, is released on Sub Pop. British singer-songwriter Naima Bock's second album, Below A Massive Dark Land, is composed of powerful and purposeful arrangements featuring a large number of musicians and filled with enveloping space and warm light, but the songwriting process was mostly was a solitary process. And for anyone who has seen Naima perform since the release of their 2022 debut, Giant Palm, which was undoubtedly a collaborative experience, this will come as a surprise. But there is power in solitude. Giant Palm was arranged with collaborator Joel Burton, but by working alone on this piece in search of something truly his own, Naima has realized that he is capable of much more than he knows.Below A Massive Dark Land was primarily produced by Jack Osborne (Bingo Fury) and Joe Jones and recorded at The Crypt in North London. Additional production and arrangements were done by Oliver Hamilton (caroline, Shovel Dance Collective) and Naima herself. Six of the songs were mixed by Jason Agel and the rest by Osborne Jones. The album was mastered by Kevin Tuffy.
