Naima Bock to play Nalen this spring

Since her time in Goat Girl, Naima Bock has developed a musical universe of her own where folk traditions, personal songwriting and cross-genre influences meet. On 27th May, she is coming to Nalen in Stockholm with new tracks and, of course, music from her acclaimed albums Giant Palm and Below a Massive Dark Land.

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 13/11 AT 10.00.

With roots in Brazilian music and folk traditions, but perhaps above all in the collective power of making music, Naima Bock creates songs that move freely between genres and expressions. Even though she had already developed a distinct feel for blending different genres into a unique style during her time in Goat Girl, Giant Palm (2022) marked a clear step in a new direction. Featuring a rich mix of jazz, electronic, acoustic and classical influences, the album presented new sides of her songwriting.

Born in Glastonbury to a Greek mother and a Brazilian father, Naima Bock spent her early years in São Paulo. There, her musical world was shaped by artists such as Chico Buarque, Baden Powell and Geraldo Vandré. When her family later moved back to England, she ended up in south London, where she found her way to both Alan Lomax's folk music archive and the local music scene.

At the age of 15, she co-founded Goat Girl, a band whose mix of punk, country and goth gained widespread attention. Following the band's debut album in 2018, she left the group to explore new paths. She studied archaeology at University College London, worked as a gardener and continued writing music at the same time.

During the pandemic, she worked up the material for her solo album alongside arranger and producer Joel Burton, with support from producer Dan Carey. The result was her debut album Giant Palm, which was released via Sub Pop in 2022 and received glowing reviews. Following that, she toured with artists such as Squid, This Is The Kit and J Mascis.

The follow-up, Below a Massive Dark Land, was largely written in solitude, including in south London, Greece, Amsterdam and Tucson. On the album, the soundscape is broadened with choirs, brass and strings, while the tracks are described as her most personal yet.

On 27th May, Naima Bock is coming to Klubben at Nalen in Stockholm.
