On September 27th, Naima Bock will release Below a Massive Dark Land worldwide through Sub Pop and Memorials of Distinction. Her second album, Below... comes as the follow up to Giant Palm, one of 2022's most critically acclaimed debuts. Along with the album announcement Naima has shared the video for the lead single 'Kaley' (directed by Cassidy Hansen) and the animated visualizer accompanying single 'Further Away' (directed by Gaia Alari).
Speaking of the tracks, Naima says "Kaley was written whilst staying at a friend’s house in Tucson, or at least it was finished there. It's about betrayal and the subsequent lack of direction that follows. At the time there was no ‘plan’ or ‘way’ that I had for myself, let alone anyone else."
“‘Further Away’ was written in Greece whilst trying to learn mini Bouzouki and missing someone.”
“'Kaley”’ feels fresh and surprising in its rug-pull choppiness but is distinctly Naima in its swinging, jubilant choruses. Meanwhile, from its humble beginnings, ‘Further Away’ is fleshed out just enough while drawing you irresistibly near in its simplicity.
The success of Naima’s debut, Giant Palm, led to a mammoth period of touring. With headline tours including London’s EartH and support shows for artists such as A. Savage, J Mascis, Squid, Rodrigo Amarante, Arab Strap, Katy J Pearson, This is the Kit, and more, Naima’s feet have hardly touched the ground since 2022.
Today, fresh off the back of a solo tour with Porridge Radio's Dana Margolin, Naima has also announced international tour dates for the summer and autumn of 2024 to support Below a Massive Dark Land.
