“It’s hard to beat this one” – David Fricke
Nausia has captivated and impressed audiences and critics alike, including the legendary rock journalist David Fricke, with their doom-jazz sound that shifts between spiritual, hypnotic trance and wild, euphoric outbursts. Spring 2025, the Copenhagen quintet celebrates the release of “Finding a Circle” (Vasen, 2025) – an album that solidifies Nausia as a deeply original band in constant evolution.
The Copenhagen-based quintet, consisting of two saxophones, guitar, bass, and drums, defies genre boundaries. Their sound alternates between hypnotic repetition and intense, euphoric energy, drawing inspiration from alternative rock, spiritual jazz, and minimalism. In late 2021, the band released their second album, “Good Intentions”, which received critical acclaim both in Denmark and abroad. The album earned 5 stars in Gaffa and a glowing review by the legendary David Fricke in MOJO Magazine.
The music of Nauaia is spiritual, intense, jazzy, doomy, and cohesive – cementing Nausia as a profoundly original band in constant development and one of Denmark’s most compelling jazz-rock acts.
As a live act, Nausia has already achieved many hight profile appearances in their short career, including performances at Roskilde Festival, SPOT festival, Copenhagen Jazz festival and several dates with kindred spirits Smag på dig selv
“With Nausia, it’s not about technical perfection or bebop at breakneck speed. Instead, beneath all the noise, Nausia is firmly rooted in the tradition of spiritual jazz, where the ultimate goal is liberation through music. It’s about the energy, and we really got to feel it.” – Politiken
