Rain from Snow

"CRESTFALLEN" is an album of chill, pretty pop songs influenced by chillhop, lofi, chamber pop, jazz, r&b, indie pop, and a mishmash of other things. But it's a Nagoon project so of course the songs still go big sometimes.

The album explores and celebrates the small moments in our lives that can feel disproportionately momentous. At the same time I was writing this album I was also making big bombastic retrowave. This project was a cozy yin to that yang: acoustic instrumentation (mostly), less diatonic chord progressions. I had a blast arranging strings and brass, channeling my inner Burt Bacharach, and dialing in some Bond theme guitar tones, to name some of my favorite moments.

But the real magic is vocalist Alyssa Fischer. When I first heard her singing a demo of "Crestfallen" I knew this was a special combination of genre and singer. I was so inspired to keep writing songs in this style for her to sing that it became an album.

The album is available for pre-order at:
https://bluenagoon.bandcamp.com/album/crestfallen
It will release on March 17, 2022. Included in the album are instrumental versions of all the tracks.

I hope you enjoy chilling out and cozying up with these songs. May they bring you some peace as we move into 2022.

Before this song, I was going through an intense, long struggle with music. It is and always will be my passion, but during this time it was incredibly hard to find the ability to create, fueled by my view of myself.
I think it's very easy to get lost in what sounds "right" as opposed to just creating in the moment, and that's where I went wrong. GARDEN is about how it's hard to accept, or even notice, the growth we make in our journeys. It's not linear, and it's never easy, but we do grow with time. 
GARDEN is my first "proper" release under eden's ocean, it's genuinely surreal to have a song out again. It feels a little weird, honestly, but it's definitely nice to be back.

Lyrics:
She bloomed on her own
When will she see how she's grown?
I won't let my petals go, again

His roots were planted in sand
When will he give himself a better hand?
I can't stand to lose the sun, again 

I let the flora guide me
Just to get lost, to start again
But if the path feels right to me
Nothing can burn me

A garden grows over our graves 
A garden grows over our graves
A garden grows over our graves
