Indie-rock/pop outfit “nIMO & The Light” release their new single "Beagle eyes" on 7/10/2020. the song is a part of an EP Titled "off the grid", that's planned to release on summer 2020. Nimo & the light has released a music video for “Skin to skin” in august 2018. it's the lead single from their debut album "don't feed the pigeons" that was released in 2019, and was produced by Nimo Kally. The album is available on any digital platform and distributed by “Distrokid”. The music video, that stands out, with its extravagant after effects, was directed by Jonathan Pasternak (Kfir ben-laish, Silver & Grace), and gained international recognition with the respectful "Audience Choice Runner Up" award on “Great Lakes International Film Festival” in 2018. The band & video were premiered on the music magazine “Vents magazine”, got reviewed on “Kill the music” “Electrowow” "the big takeover" and landed an interview on “Essentially pop”. "..."Skin to skin" has a sinister, perverted element similar to the best lyrics from Martin Gore, and elsewhere the band often sounds like if Depeche Mode traded their synths for guitars. There’s a subtle murky, psychedelic tinge as well to songs like “Keeping ‘Em Honest” and “Morpheus” that is highly reminiscent of Pink Floyd" (The Big Takeover magazine 2019). “...It’s difficult to incorporate artist influences into your music without them overtaking completely: you need that perfect balance. Good bands are able to juggle this fine line without a problem, and Nimo & The Light’s new record Don’t Feed The Pigeons manages to perform this task admirably... to make the sound unmistakably theirs..” (Vinyl Chapters Magazine 05/2019). “...Nimo & The Light make absolutely lovely music filled with lush backdrops and incandescent guitars with a luminescent sound that will make your heart sing. Traverse through these soundscapes, a terrain abundant with a mellow and laid-back rapturous feel that is something great to relax to and kick back with…” (The Celebrity Cafe magazine 05/2019). Since it was founded, the band stayed passionate and true to its musical choices, ranging from indie-pop to alternative rock sounds, and spreading the word for international connectivity, drawing inspiration from iconic greats such as David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Cure, Depeche Mode. The band is: Nimo Kally - Vocals, GuitarDiana Hickman - Keys, Backup VocalsGlenn Grossman - Drums Brian Karp - BassLUCAS SHINE - Guitars
