Biography

Nola Kin is the solo project of Carla Fellinger. After a three-year break from playing gigs around the country, a challenging phase of reflecting and sitting with grief, both personally and creatively, she learned to face this process with the necessary patience. After taking time to regain her love and connection to music she has found a way of combining formative musical influences and lyricism to explore personal themes. The musician herself describes the record as inherently optimistic, a reconciliation with herself and her inner conflicts: «To me it feels like having taken a long and tiring hike through my own history returning to a warm home. A comforting feeling that brings me a bit closer to myself.» With the courage to embrace her own vulnerability she is taking the stage as an incredibly inventive and strong musician. In the EP’s lead-off track «Lay Low» Nola Kin muses on a past relationship. It’s about the other’s inability to find closure and being left to linger on hold. Nevertheless the deep friendship and bond between the two is set in stone. Kin’s voice oscillates between melancholy and hope, showing itself humble and vibrant. Embedded in a conglomeration of organic and electronic elements the natural and urban symbiotically go hand in hand.
