Taiga's new album Nomadelic is officially out 26.05.2025
This is Taiga’s first full-length album—as defined by the duo themselves. With an innate nomadic instinct, they soar across the boundless, echoing Tuva grasslands. On this album, we hear Taiga at their rawest—ritualistic drums pounding out visions of rain-washed plains. Acid synths and ancient traditional instruments clash, sharp as a steppe eagle’s polished beak. Ancient, weighty language and mysterious sonic pathways are the wings Taiga stirs.
Nomadelic is a fusion of "Nomad" and "Psychedelic" into a new term, evokes the sensation of leaping off horseback and soaring again, gaining a fresh perspective over the land that has nurtured them.
This album is produced by French producer Pilah (Kaly Live Dub). After the band recorded their own demos, Pilah's involvement was introduced through Fabasstone (Hightone), bringing a professional perspective and finely-tuned rhythm control to the project. This collaboration polished the raw impulse into a complete and distinct album. The production process was straightforward yet profound, maintaining the music's primal vitality while exploring new sonic boundaries.
The album opens with the nature-celebrating "Teve Khya," then moves through the reimagined "Grassland Echo," built from samples and the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), followed by "Khandagaity," named after a real-world place, and the deeply poignant "Lament." The band traverses diverse emotional landscapes across these tracks. The wordless "Sheepskin Carpet" and "Gobi Hermit" invoke imagery of ancient rituals through rhythmic and sonic experimentation. The title track "Nomadelic" samples Tuva's oral chanting tradition, serving as the psychedelic core of the album—its raw texture, rapid vocal rhythms, and low-frequency textures weave a unique sense of ethnic futurism. Nomadelic/迷牧 is a sincere and uncompromising sonic experiment, a resonance of the nomadic spirit with both the land and the spiritual world.
