Limited 180gm clear vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Eye of Nix was formed in 2012 with the intent of conjuring music that is threatening, beautiful, and harsh. Founding vocalist & guitarist Joy Von Spain, guitarist Nicholas Martinez, and noise/sound collage artist Masaaki Masao were joined in 2017 by bassist Zach Wise and drummer Luke LaPlante. Recorded by renowned producer Billy Anderson (Bell Witch, Pallbearer) at The Hallowed Halls in Portland, Oregon and mastered by Brad Boatright (Gatecreeper, Necrot), their new LP Black Somnia centers on themes of fear, control, and anxiety while shape-shifting through a lens of blackened psychedelia and doom. Commented vocalist Joy Von Spain: "The album is an exploration of the forces of fear and control, responses to these insidious, unseen powers, the specter that remains when we awaken from mysterious and frightening dreams. Billy Anderson worked with us on ideas to preserve the noisier elements of our sound and the layers of atmosphere." The visual elements for Black Somnia were created in collaboration with occult photographer and artist Carlos Melgoza (Anima Nocturna) and an international group of Butoh performers (Alan Sutherland, Vanessa Skantze, Marina Sossi) with Susan DuMett (Vox Vespertinus). Black Somnia's first print run was issued in the US as a vinyl-only edition pressing limited to 250. Through the prominence of Black Somnia's original pressing, the result is an official worldwide release through Prophecy (first time on CD & a new version of the LP). The majestic elements of the album seamlessly accent each other, creating a memorable mesmerizing audio experience that will hypnotize the listeners senses. Admirers of Pharmakon, Satyricon and early Soundgarden will find Black Somnia to be a uniquely intriguing musical masterpiece. The band has accomplished to create an album that defies all genre standards within modern day dark music. Eye of Nix "Black Somnia" will be available on CD Digipak and LP (black and ltd. Clear vinyl).

Yes, Black Cowboys in NYC!
Format: Hardcover
I just read this book with my granddaughter on Libby and ordered it immediately from Amazon. (I will also order it in a Spanish version for my granddaughter to bring to her school). My husband is a musician who performed at the “Atlantic Antic” in Brooklyn many, many years ago. He told us about the Black Cowboys in Brooklyn who trotted up to his concert on Atlantic Ave. “It was surreal,” he said, “to see black cowboys on horseback in New York City!”

thrilling ride of a book
Format: Kindle
Beautiful... I love the tenderness of the father-daughter relationship, and the gentle love between rider and horse, contrasted with the raw thrill of the pre-dawn adventure. This book manages to portray something so specific - an urban horseback ride - with such deep and universal appeal.

Beautiful book!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book perfectly exemplifies how soft and simple can be so magical. The lyrical language laden with sensory details, paired with the vibrant visuals, makes for an absolute treat of an experience! The father-child time at night immediately reminded me of OWL MOON and just like owling, urban horseback riding is something we’ve never experienced personally, so it was especially thrilling to experience it with my children through this book.
I also love that this book is a celebration of Black culture and joy. Finding the universal through the specific is the key to any good story, and the author has a real knack for it. Just like the Abuelita in this story, my mother is the first to wake up, and we find her nestled in her chair with a cup of coffee. And the description of the little girl’s kiss on her Abuelita’s papery cheek brought back memories of my own grandmother’s papery cheek – something I miss very much. Picture books really are for everyone.
All the starred reviews are so well-deserved and I’d be very surprised if this book didn’t win awards. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous, joyful, and moving
Format: Hardcover
This book is simply breathtaking, from the vibrant illustrations to the lovely father-daughter story about the precious alone time they spend together early in the morning. The effect is so powerful and visceral, it feels like you're right there experiencing it with them-- the quiet of the city at dawn, the nostalgia, the sharing of a memory that will last a lifetime. It made me long for my own cherished childhood moments. My kid was fascinated by the idea of horses on city streets, which I guess he's never seen before. And, for my part, I loved the all too rare representation of Black cowboy culture in a picture book. More books like this, please! Final moments of the book highlight the main character's belief in herself... "I'm a cowboy too!" This confidence is partly a result of the love and representation provided by her father. LOVE LOVE this book.
