Paradise of Bachelors

Nap Eyes is a band hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Known for their introspective lyrics and melodic indie rock sound, they have gained a dedicated following in the music scene. Drawing inspiration from artists such as *Dick Stusso*, *Bonny Doon*, and *Omni*, Nap Eyes has crafted a unique musical style that resonates with listeners.

With influences ranging from *Ultimate Painting* to *A. Savage*, their music combines catchy guitar riffs with thoughtful storytelling. Fans of bands like *Sam Evian* and *Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever* will appreciate Nap Eyes' laid-back yet captivating sound.

Having shared stages with notable acts like *Ought* and *Dick Diver*, Nap Eyes continues to make waves in the indie rock genre. Their music captures the essence of artists like *The Goon Sax* and *The Glands*, while also drawing comparisons to bands such as *Twerps* and even the late David Berman's project, Purple Mountains.

Nova Scotia's Nap Eyes is the greatest band you've never heard, and Whine of the Mystic is their first full-length album, a brilliant small-batch brew of crooked, literate guitar pop refracted through the gray Halifax rain. Recorded live to tape with no overdubs, it's equal parts shambling and sophisticated, with one eye on the dirt and one trained on the starry firmament, inhabiting a skewed world where odes to NASA and the Earth's magnetic field coexist easily with songs about insomnia and drinking too much. Nap Eyes' keen sonic signature cruises briskly and beautifully along the dog-eared axes of jangle-jaded Oceanic pop music (The Clean, The Verlaines, The Go-Betweens), and through the backpages of Peter Perrett (The Only Ones, England's Glory), via all things Lou Reed and Modern Lovers, without ever sounding very much like anything else happening today.
