CONSTRUCTIONS is the second release from NICO AMARA, following her debut album Constraints (May 2025). The EP brings two new tracks, FOUND LIFE and WHITE, alongside a self-remix of COMME LA PESTE and a remix by the Motorik maximal wave project The Language of My Love. CONSTRUCTIONS sharpens the colder textures and noisier mechanical rhythmic layers of NICO AMARA’s sonic architecture, cut from the colder edge of post-industrial darkwave.The introductory and environmentally charged video for COMME LA PESTE was released on 28 August 2025, with a second video for the new track FOUND LIFE planned for the end of September.Track List

CONSTRAINTS isn’t just an album; it’s a sonic séance, a nightmarish prayer, a protest whispered in the dark. — Nocturnazine

debut album RELEASES may 09, 25

• ALBUM PACKAGE
• PRIVATE STREAMING (SoundCloud - press only)

Following the release of her first two singles—IN CHAINS, currently set to appear in the upcoming feature on Nocturnazine “Manifest”, and the sharp-edged Italian-language track L’ORA VUOTA—NICO AMARA announces her debut full-length album, CONSTRAINTS, out this May 9.Cold, minimal synths and tight basslines shape CONSTRAINTS into a sound that is immersive yet unyielding—eight tracks that shift between haunted stillness, echo-laden textures, mechanical edges, and a dark pulse. Multilingual vocals, delivered in whispers, spoken fragments, or airy melodies, drift through the album with a sense of detachment. Subtle changes in spatial depth and filtering animate even the most minimal structures, adding a quiet unease beneath the surface. Each track is a contribution to contrast and control, drawing the listener in without ever fully letting them in, —creating a minimal body music built on disquiet, motion and deliberate distance.
The lyrics across CONSTRAINTS move through themes of existential reflection and political urgency, touching on animal activism and environmental grief. These ideas surface in different forms—for instance, in IN CHAINS, through a focus on inherited emotional patterns and internal confinement; in L’ORA VUOTA, which draws from Nietzschean thought to explore illusion and perception; or in MEAT MACHINE, which addresses animal exploitation.The full album is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp, as well as in a limited-edition compact disc release.

artist bio

NICO AMARA is the solo darkwave project of experimental composer and multidisciplinary artist Nicole Fior-Greant (Switzerland), active in European electronic contemporary music festivals. With this project, she delves into her very private box—releasing her debut darkwave album CONSTRAINTS in May—bringing with her a compositional precision that shapes subtle yet complex acoustic shifts within a minimal structure, offering a first glimpse into her dark sonic world.Inspired by darkwave, industrial music, and classic contemporary composers, her work is driven by cold, detached dark electro rhythms and noise-infused mechanical textures—shaped by dissonant tones, slow filter sweeps, and modulated reverb tails. These merge with minimal, textured analog synth layers to create a stark sonic architecture.

Themes of existential reflection, environmental, and animal activism are expressed through fragmented, concise thoughts. Shifting between soft singing, spoken phrases, and whispers, she delivers haunting vocals in English, Italian, French, and German, reflecting a unique identity that adds sonic diversity and ambiguity that feels both intimate and distant.The result is a sound that defies easy categorisation—meticulously constructed yet emotionally raw, where compositional clarity meets vulnerability within a minimalist, fractured framework: a space marked by absence, tension, noise, and quiet intensity—both personal and unapologetically detached.
