SELVA NUA

Geography plays an important role in explaining who Selva Nua are. Joana Jové (vocals, guitar and compositions), Adrià Garcia (bass) and Gerard Català (drums) come from different villages around Lleida: Vilanova de Segrià, Les Borges Blanques and Els Omellons. But they live strategically distributed between Barcelona, Tarragona and Girona. This distance was not a problem, but an incentive for them to record a song called “Nuvolosa” at the height of the pandemic, which -surprisingly- opened some doors for them.

This 2022 they have released “Momentani”, which arrives now to reveal itself as a real breath of fresh air for our music scene. The eight tracks on the album combine a pop sonority with soul influences and nods to lo-fi music, introspective and evocative lyrics, singular, different and surprising melodies, nostalgic synthesizers, measured guitars, emblematic bass lines and tenacious drums… With references ranging from Alice Phoebe Lou to Men I Trust, via Faye Webster or Yellow Days.
