Concert: Summer in Izola - AKA Neomi
Location: Park Pietro Coppo
Time: 8.30 pm
Free entry
Since 2011, AKA Neomi's sound has been evolving and deliberately meandering between indie pop and trip hop, between acoustic ballads and psychedelic noise, and more recently, flirting with disco pop. After hits like Grow Old, Self service and Wedding bouquet, AKA Neomi are opening a new chapter. Firstly, because they are going back to Slovenian and secondly, because it is a more light-hearted and fun project in terms of genre and content. The times we live in are unfavourable to say the least and if we were to go into what all is wrong, we could raise our hands over everything. That's why it is important to Saša and Mario that when listening to new creations, one also has to smile. Their first two singles from their upcoming album - Nočna bever and Bakhantka - are also tinged with humour.Grow Old and Nočna bever were among the 50 most played songs on Valu202 in 2022, while the recently released Vesolje (Space) is about love and its timelessness.
AKA Neomi has graced many stages since its inception, including MENT, Austria's Waves Vienna, Portugal's Westway Lab and Eurosonic in the Netherlands, as well as sharing the stage with Roisin Murphy at her Ljubljana concert. Her latest album Beautiful Disasters, released in January 2020 on the Portuguese label European Phonographic, has received positive reviews at home and abroad and was nominated for the Golden Pipe in the Album of the Year category.
