Nina Kohout has had a promising start to her musical journey, marked by winning Discovery of the year at the Radio Head Awards 2021.
The release of her debut EP ‘Pandemonium’ cemented her place not only on the Slovak scene but internationally as well, gaining recognition from leading British music media, BBC Radio, and the American station KEXP.
Touring across Europe with shows in Milan, Budapest, Brighton, and at the renowned Eurosonic festival, Nina began offering glimpses of her much anticipated debut album in 2023.
Nina has recently unveiled her debut album ‘Gentle Autopsy’ via Deadred Records.
‘Pebble Dance’ which is track six on the album sees Nina Kohout begins with beautiful, soft and mesmerizing vocals as the lyrics flow alongside delightful melodies but it doesn’t take long before the Brighton artist instantly changes the mood of the song.
‘Pebble Dance’ sees Nina switch back and forth between gentle vibes and intense and stirring instrumental beats.
The track conveys a story that takes the listener firmly by the hand and doesn’t let go until the very final moment.
The industrial rage of ‘Little Butterfly,’ the playful balalaikas in the tender ‘Song of an Unborn Mother,’ and the ever-surprising ‘Flavoured & Eaten,’ hint at what would be her most diverse work yet.
“I never thought creating a musical work could be so much fun, yet born in solitude.
With ‘Gentle Autopsy,’ I discovered musical ease while touching on the heaviest topics to date. Personal ones, but also those that extend far beyond myself.
As the album’s title suggests, the process felt like an internal autopsy, though done with the gentlest of hands.
While my debut EP embodied wild chaos, this album feels like a step closer to order and understanding—both internally and sonically. Emotional wandering has been replaced by conscious grounding, yet the amount of vulnerability remained unchanged, which was my favourite part.
Beyond that, this album fulfilled all my dreams in the field of music production while opening countless doors to new ones, which I’m already excited to explore,” explains Nina about the creation process of her debut album.
