Press Clippings
Nijuu makes the kind of music that's best described as a feeling more than a sound (although, if you're going to be pedantic, then you could file largely under bedroom dream-pop)... 'Blue' conjures up that particular calm that only comes from a true moment of tranquility - floating on a lilo in the sun; lying with your eyes shut on warm sand; rare non-hungover Sunday mornings in bed. It's a track that swaddles you in gauzy vocals and ripples of piano, and instantly lowers your blood pressure by a few notches..' DIY
