Born of an eclectic heart and spirit of classical music and garage guitar, and molded by contempt for “pop” and all things overly contrived and commodified, the Nabokov Project attempts to meld sounds as if painting rather than simply “composing.” Although the goal of these songs is not to move the listener to a vocal or lyrical “hook” that is then stuck in their head in a less than pleasurable repetition of notes and words, this in no way signifies that you won’t walk around all day with the whispers of these pieces in your head We believe that there is a deeper pleasure just beyond the accessibility of “pop,” which doesn’t abandon pop but doesn’t relegate the attempt at musical “art” to the background in the name of reaching the largest mainstream audience possible. Music is something of the “people” and for the “people” and when it is marketed (which is inevitable at this stage of capitalism), often we loose more than we gain. the Nabokov Project is about returning to that bareness, the essential that is lost in our progress into the post-al world where music matters only in that it can be sold and profited on.
