"The Swans” is a present day, apocalypse-era reply to Springsteen's “Dancing In The Dark” or Bowie’s “Modern Love”. I wrote it before the pandemic, but in anticipation of the need to live above and against the fire and brimstone, to forever fall in love with the natural world. The forsaking of matrimony in “The Swans” is just another chain-cutting metaphor, another way of saying no to the trappings of the past and committing to a freer future. It's an anti-property love song directed at the entire experience of living.

Is a hypnotic blitzed-out lunar-soul glam shuffle, a sci-fi pulp satire call to arms—or call to the dance floor—in the age of climate catastrophe.
Director/editor Matt Marotti projects a similar vision in the accompanying video with a cut-up, psychedelic freak-out montage.
Nyssa’s triumphant, 21st century-road-song, “Hey Jackie”, receives a stunning visual treatment courtesy of director, Ron Hollywood.
We see Nyssa transformed into a lone sentry, an industrial knight-errant, defiantly at ease in her abandoned, apocalyptic realm. Invincible in her armour and calm in her poise, she walks alone, vindicated in her vagabond ways.

“Champion of Love” is a bizarro Dionysian exultation—a puckish takedown of sterile adulthood.

I’m your pied piper, your mad hatter, your witch in the woods, here to lead you in the revelry of my sleazy Saturnalia.

Nyssa invites you to trip the light fantastic along her road to ruin. 'Cowboy' is a slow burn disco-twang delivered in a saturated flush of B-movie sentiment and sensation. Follow our femme fatales as they buck and blade their way thru confectionary smut and rubble, vengeance at the wheel. From the "Champion of Love" EP out April 13
