This album follows intergenerational trauma, fugitives of Christian violence in a twilight called Puruma, returning to Mama Cocha, the sea that theorists call Nowhere.

Dedicated to the life of Paul Sousa, who while incarcerated, worked years as an inmate firefighter across the Sierra Nevada of California. Also dedicated to the work of Sage LaPena and Dr. Gretel Mendizabal Nolte. (Includes misreadings of Jimenez, Saenz, Claudel, & Wright).

Not one, not world, not body, not god, not salvation, not zero; only a ceaseless approaching toward, with, and as the great mystery, by Grace, Tatamama. Jallalla.

Nansea (ˈnænsi) is the musical moniker of Berlin-based musician Marek Polgesek. With their music, they create a queer indie/chamber pop sound that goes beyond the traditional singer-songwriter style, while paying tribute to gender nonconforming artists that inspire them. Their sound has been described as a ‘more whimsical Rufus Wrainwright’ and reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and The Irrepressibles. The themes of Nansea's music address their individual experience of the world, with its clashes between hetero-normative constraints, and the incredibly diverse countercultures that arise from it.
Their central theme is suffering as an integral part of life and as a force that brings us together as sensual and emotional beings. While they're embedded in Berlin's local queer scene and community, they seek to find a way to convey the personal feelings we experience as part of this community in a universal language we all share. This language materializes in the form of Nansea's Queer Indie/Chamber Pop sound.
