Nadja is a duo of Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff, formed in Toronto in 2005. Their music has been described as ambient doom, dreamsludge, or metalgaze. Over their nearly two decade long career, Nadja has established a unique and signature sound which combines the atmospheric textures of shoegaze and ambient or electronic music with the heaviness, density, and volume of metal, noise, and industrial.

The duo has toured extensively around the world-including performances at such festivals as SXSW, FIMAV, Roadburn, Donaufestival, Le Guess Who, Incubate, and Unsound. Nadja has released numerous albums on many respected underground labels – including Alien8 Recordings, Daymare Records, Southern Lord, Hydrahead Records, Gizeh Records, and Important Records – and on their own imprint, Broken Spine Productions.

The album REQUIEM by The Nausea depicts the violin engaged in a multi-dimensional way … [bringing together] tonal and melodic elements that bridge European vernacular and classical musics, strains of black metal and death metal, and the 20th-century musique concrète, avant-garde and harsh noise disruptions of traditions and boundaries.
