Noaccordion
Mentals/Wake Up
(Self-Released)
As Noaccordion, Onah Indigo finds a middle ground between hip-hop, electronica and classical from an artistic standpoint. Though she’s armed with an accordion, there’s plenty of other instruments explored against Indigo’s jazzy vocals and playful song structure. While some tracks are so simple they could be children’s songs, others are sophisticated and heavy on piano, while others seem more suited for a cabaret. The Mentals EP is the more introspective of the pair, with downtempo, glitchy moments that are inspired by the music of Eric Satie. Entire instrumental, it illustrates much depth to Noaccordion’s path. Wake Up, on the other hand, is more energetic and a display of positiveness that encapsulate house, dub step, and electro-pop.
