With their new single “Heroes & Nights”, NAPAEA have created an ode to life and the arts. Honest and epic, the Austrian Folkband celebrate the simple things in life by combining familiar pictures with Irish sounds, calling to mind images of pubs, green meadows and sheep. The whisky-soaked voice of Hamburg musician John Allen, who joins in the hymn for a few parts, adds a rustic edge to the track.
After their first single “Art Thou Lost At Sea” and the relentless search for the intangible, NAPAEA seem to have found with “Heroes & Nights” a satisfying answer to the restlessness of wandering: Down-to-earthness & a whole lot of joy.
