Find No Enemy
“The classic composition of the song is interwoven with contemporary elements, resulting in a fresh and enjoyable sound that’s sure to get you grooving while still feeling the adequate tinge of nostalgia to reminisce about those fleeting relationships.”

“An emotionally charged piece of songwriting, with melancholic chord progressions, and clear melodic motifs in a minor key, the electronic direction of the product helps in amplifying a sense of dissociation from reality that can easily fit the lyrical content, making this entire song function as a single musical and lyrical entity, with cohesion, and precision.”

The Minimalistic Music
“A big nostalgic feeling […] I feel it is more complex then it sounds. I would share this song with fans of Jr August, Dutch Criminal Record, and other story-telling like modern musicians of today.”

“It’s clear that Napier Days’ past experiences as a musician have shaped his approach to recording and production. The attention to detail in the mix is impressive, and it’s clear that every element of the arrangement has been carefully considered and crafted to create the final product.
[Last Time] is a perfect example of his unique approach to pop music, and it’s clear that his passion for the craft is what drives him to create such compelling music.”

“Drawing us with intricate percussion, psychedelic nuance, breathwork and a luscious and dimensional guitar soundscape, Napier Days opens Last Time with a sense of timeless rock energy, needless to say, we are in awe. […]
We imagine that fans of The Smiths and The Cure would be able to connect with Last Time, but it is also clear that Napier Days is creating a unique sonic essence, unto himself.”

Music For All
“The dark sound, enraptured by surprise minimalist elements, is loaded with ambient structures and electronic insights, enabling a simply irresistible sensory journey for the listener! But we cannot fail to point out the great pop splendor that the chorus scores, those that plague our mind in the process of eternal abduction, as it really is a fundamental point for the enacted success.”

“We appreciate the poetic prowess and emotion of the piece, as well as the immersive sonic energy that Napier Days delivers […] The lyricism is metaphorical, but also healing and transcendental.”
