Imagine progressive rock and psychedelic dreams combined with heavy blues and theatrical expressionism. The seven-headed rock orchestra Nephila brings out the best of ‘60s and '70s experimental movement, while adding a touch of mysticism and visual storytelling. The band travels freely through history and strange, otherworldly dimensions, bringing back plenty of intriguing tales that open up new realities of understanding in the form of dynamic songs with folkish melodies, proggy stylings, and a pair of fantastic female vocalists. Nephila has been described as a kind of a musical spider, with its sprawling legs represented by the different shades, hues, tones, and techniques prominent in the space rock pioneered by visionaries of the 1970s, such as Jefferson Airplane and Sweden’s Abramis Brama. Members of Nephila come to us from retro band Children of the Sün, where melodies and rhythm spiral like a pulsing red thread stitching together a most marvelous tapestry.
