"NYMPH, from New York, sounds as if it’s from everywhere and nowhere. This group’s first, self-titled album, on the Social Registry label, begins with the sound of Matty McDermott’s hollow-bodied electric guitar, playing curled and emphatic Malian riffs with amplifier settings that sound like Neil Young’s, loud and tough and warm and hugely echoing. Then the record stops and starts through drum rolls and cymbal crashes and rattled bells, with theatrical yelping, wordless vocals by Eri Shoji. And that — give or take a clarinet, a shakuhachi and an electric bass — is pretty much the template for the whole intuitive and sensible, contemplative and bone-rattling album. It knows what it’s doing, and doesn’t need to make it too clear."
