PAINLESS Nilüfer Yanya

It’s all about the detail on Nilüfer Yanya’s second album ‘PAINLESS’ where minimalist Indie Pop meets cavernous emotive depth. Sketching out dark vignettes that grapple with struggle and suffering, and at times revel in it, Nilüfer Yanya finds beauty, light and control through arresting melodies and a mastery of pacing that is carefully picked out yet also unrelenting. Built on sturdy rhythms a combination of Shoegaze guitar, electronics, horns and straight up Indie guitar riffs provide texture and interest while never appearing complicated or in contradiction. It’s a diverse palette that in lesser hands may have lurched or become unwound but instead remains compelling from start to finish.
