Nap Eyes unveil dreamy new single "Mystery Calling"

"Mystery Calling" lands after previous singles "So Tired" and "Mark Zuckerberg".

Expanding on the breezy new track, lead vocalist Nigel Chapman says, "This is another improvised-origin song. On one level it’s basically a description of my homebody ways, and it’s also about the way our mundane routines can seem to pull us away from what I’m referring to as "Mystery" in the song - that is, away from the discovery and creation that seem to be more valuable and important activities in themselves, despite being deemed superficially ‘non-practical.’ Now, this irritation and sense of being drawn away from what’s important is probably mostly illusory. This is because the cosmic mystery is probably accessible even in the midst of the most boring and stressful busywork. At the same time, as any good procrastinator should know, there is quite a lot of good that comes from letting the mind ignore apparently pressing worldly activities in order to let it roam, explore, discover and create."

Nap Eyes' Snapshot of a Beginner album is their first LP since 2018's I'm Bad Now.

The LP was recorded at The National’s upstate NY Long Pond Studio with producers Jonathan Low (Big Red Machine, The National) and James Elkington (Steve Gunn, Joan Shelley).
