Help Nicole press Matter on vinyl

Hey there!

I've finished all the final touches on my sophomore album and now ask you- my friends, fans, loved ones, to help see it get pressed on vinyl so that we can all enjoy this special release together.

For this special release we made a bandcamp exclusive limited transparent clear RED vinyl color. I even got my close friend Sarah Everton, from the indie band Bleeding Rainbow, to design the album artwork exclusively for this bandcamp vinyl edition.

This album is extremely personal to me as it deals with my experience as a Korean American woman, especially in the last 3 years. By releasing these songs, I hope to shine some light through the darkness that has been surrounding all of us lately.

Much love,
Nicole

In the months after the Atlanta shootings Nicole struggled to know how to respond. A Korean American songwriter best known as the lead singer of indie band Eternal Summers, her role growing up had always been as the sole Asian representative in her classes, and even in the indie rock scenes of her young adulthood. While she draws on personal experiences with discrimination, she goes further in explaining her constant feeling of exclusion in “Like Never Before." “I can admit I’m a tourist in a strange land I supposedly knew,” a blunt statement of her persistent feeling of foreignness in her birth country.

Recorded over a number of sessions in Brooklyn and Roanoke, Virginia, Matter is the deft, brutally honest record we have been waiting for Nicole to make. Flanked by collaborators Joe Boyer (Cloud Nothings), Jacob Sloan (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart), Tom Barrett (Overlake) and Duncan Lloyd (Maximo Park), the fuzzed-out textures and muscular drum beats harken back to nineties guitar rock such as Guided by Voices, Sonic Youth and Belly, while speaking to societal injustices with frankness reminiscent of Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney.
