Nailbite
Nailbite is an experimental IDM / Drum and Bliss alias focused on blending emotionally lush guitar and synth melodies with fast, intricate breakbeats. Rooted in contrast, the project explores the beauty and tension between the analog and digital worlds.
Created by Berlin-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Ethan Walsh, Nailbite draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, with a clear emphasis on late ’90s IDM and early 2000s indietronica.
Nailbite’s debut album, “Healing, a process involving change”, is a 8 track exploration of emotional depth within electronic music. Intriguing guitar melodies and complex drum programming are interwoven with sampled interviews and detuned synths, blurring the line between electronic composition and traditional songwriting. The result is a body of work that feels intimate, expressive, and human.
