Night In Athens
Wasted Reflektions (purple)
4th pressing. NIGHT IN ATHENS is the DIY-art synth solo project by Tina Boletti (T_ ¶_), musician and artist originally from Athens, but based in London. She started her project in 2020, and released 2 self-produced albums before. Wasted Reflektions is NIA's third album, featuring nine songs and digs into the profound tranquillity that results from immersing oneself in the tumult of modern life. The frenetic synth-punk song "Pale Rose", which features NIA's cajoling and yelling over an electronic repeating beat, kicks off the album on the right foot. It also has 2 extremely dismal tracks including guitar and ethereal, dark, or melancholy vocals like on "Words Unspoken" and "Nightshades". Inspired by the late 70s synthwave the self title song "Wasted Reflektions" offers a cold minimalistic sound wrapped in whispers. On this album, NIA experiments with more melodic vocals, yet several songs have a faster Tempo, clearly based on her (original) punk heritage. The album concludes with "Emotions", an invitation to love fearlessly An Album that makes you longing for more!!!
