Nico Paulo Interval_o (Clear)

- produced by Joshua Van Tassel (Bahamas, Rose Cousins) - touring this summer throughout Canada at prominent folk festivals - press/radio support from KEXP, KCRW, Uncut, MTV, CBC Music, Aquarium Drunkard, and many more - editorial playlist support from Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and more" "To spend time with Nico Paulo, who never seems to stop singing, humming, and seeking melody is to find grounding beauty and sustainability in the becoming. It’s a special thing, to cultivate these intervals: they’re often the places where we’re finally able to find the present. On her latest EP aptly titled Interval_o—the ‘o’ nods to Paulo’s Portuguese heritage—the Newfoundland-based songwriter’s brief collection of ambient meditations and stream-of-life fragments celebrates a transformational period. “The purpose of it was to represent what I was experiencing, too,” Paulo says. “I was feeling like I had run out of things to say, but I still want to sing to people. I was wondering, ‘Is there a way of doing that? Can I still keep people company with words and sound and not have to tell a full story?’” Interval_o builds a sonic space for listeners to embrace their own metamorphoses, and to sing and dance all the way through them."
