Nordista Freeze - “All I Wanna Do”

SXSW 2022 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 2

Pairs Well With…Mac DeMarco, Sufjan Stevens, The Beach Boys

Classic 60s pop harmonies and melodies highlight Nordista Freeze’s music, an element laid over woozy, breezy indie rock platforms on latest record Big Sky Pipe Dream. It’s the Nashville-based artist’s third full-length, a gentle yet full effort with a charming, psychedelic-pop vibe. Nordista Freeze is a 50/50 balance of grungy, contemporary pop and throwback appeal, forming melodies based on past-masters, but adding his own winking, DIY approach. It gives his music a carefree appeal while still keeping things grounded, dream pop that is still anchored in the past.
