Nicole Miglis, the multi-instrumentalist and voice behind revered indie pop band Hundred Waters, has released her debut solo album Myopia via Sargent House and shared the video for album standout “Sleep All Day.” The new visual joins previous videos “Lure,” “Autograph” and “Sleep All Day” in demonstrating Miglis’s mesmerizing ability to synthesize experimental production, pop melodies and classical form into a musical language completely her own. Throughout Myopia, Miglis crystallizes interwoven states of obsession, love and loss alongside an eclectic array of sounds, both organic and digital, while expounding on the album’s theme of being unable to look past the immediate in favor of the bigger picture. “There’s the myopia of desire, love, obsession—the feeling of only being able to see that one person in everything, everywhere,” she explains. “There’s also personal myopia of not seeing your potential or your power, of not zooming out; limiting beliefs.”
Myopia is the culmination of a lifetime of artistic endeavors, threading moments throughout her entire career; from her introduction to classical piano at just six years old, to navigating Florida’s DIY experimental scene while studying piano performance at the University of Florida, where she met her future collaborators in Hundred Waters, to that band’s influential run that yielded a panoply of critical praise from the likes of NPR, New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and more. Myopia evolved in bits and pieces, including a stint of creative vigor following her global tour as lead singer for Grammy nominated electronic musician Bonobo in 2022-23. “Because I made a lot of the record with my portable setup while traveling, there are a lot of meaningful stories behind all of the sounds for me,” Miglis says of the writing process for the album. The finished album blends textures and genres alongside instruments and influences—from pianos and strings to harp acoustics and ethereal loops—bridging the gap between classical and modern with an album certain to intrigue fans of electronic, orchestral, and pop music alike. Nicole will debut selections from the album live at Permanent Roadhouse in Los Angeles this Sunday, August 25 - more info here.
