Fever

Fever is an EP by Nothing The Black Celebration, released on the independent label Dynamic Noise. The album features dark ambient, ambient, chillwave and indietronica sounds, long before chillwave and indietronica were considered genres. The EP is seen as "proto-hipstertronica", because it is one of the first instances of the typical "indietronica" sounds found in the Pitchfork crop of bands that emerged during 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Fever is a musical departure from Nothing The Black Celebration's earlier work. It is less dark and more accessible. It also does away with the traditional metal riffs samples found on Go Ahead And Pray and Fear Of Bright Lights.

Fever is cited as one of the most influential EPs in the Lovian music scene. It served as an inspiration for countless artists, like Tapedeck Destroyer, Hyperkids Melody, Konikaami no Konikaami, Rain King, Crystal Math, Virtual Beach and Lorelei.


 * "At that time, we thought: "fuck metal, metal sucks." We did away with the tremolo-picking, angsty power chords and focused on what was left, basic rhythms and rounded, polished sounds. Small loops of Kraftwerk-like dub sounds and summery tunes."
