The sonically dense album plays out over its sprawling 42-minute runtime, with world-tilting lead single “In Haze” acting as a first taste for what the band has in store—the song twinkles and trudges on slowly through drones of guitar and delicate ripples of melancholy vocals.  LISTEN TO “IN HAZE” PRE-ORDER CULT CLASSICS VOL. 1 A prolific member of the Philly DIY scene, Nyxy Nyx began in 2014 as a performance art project, slowly morphing into a legendary scene go-to and gaining a cult following along the East Coast. Earlier this year, they shared a standalone single, “the cauldron” and full-length project Real Life, adding to their ever-changing, eclectic discography.

ABOUT NYXY NYX: Luv, pain, the profound, the mundane: Nyxy Nyx is for the dreamers and true believers. Down the rabbit hole, caught in a snare, the project’s cyclical riffs and self-references blur the lines of time and reality, backing listeners into a deja vu box-trap of uncanny melodies and foggy-eyed double takes. Known for their temporality, the Philly-based outfit have spent years manipulating their degenerative discography. Tracklistings shift, masters are swapped, and songs are re-recorded. In many cases, a release is solely accessible by those with a download or physical copy. For the first time ever, Nyxy Nyx will commit to contract-backed perpetuity. Cult Classics Vol. 1 is out via Julia’s War Recordings on September 12, 2025.  Brian Reichert, Tim Jordan (Sun Organ), Benjamin Schurr (Luna Honey), and Alex Ha (ex-Knifeplay) are joined by Madeline Johnston (Midwife) and Josh Meakim (A Sunny Day in Glasgow) for Nyxy Nyx’s first full-band studio record. Recorded by Dan Angel, Cult Classics Vol. 1 represents the heaviest iteration of Nyxy Nyx, capturing their sludgy and transcendent live energy–the ideal (re)introduction for heads and new initiates alike. Nyxy Nyx began in 2014 as a performance art project between Brian Riechert and Drew Saracco. The duo played noise and underground punk shows, collaborating with countless friends and guest musicians. Home recordings, tapes, and CDs of “Nyxy Nyx” music have been distributed by labels, but most are DIY: handmade, shared with friends, and found in little libraries. By 2020, Nyxy Nyx assembled a live band and played consistently, toured the East Coast, and then recorded Cult Classics Vol. 1. Every song on this album was performed live, but none played the same twice. ABOUT JULIA’S WAR RECORDINGS: Julia’s War Recordings is a community-based record label out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but serving the greater world as a whole. Founded by Douglas Dulgarian of They Are Gutting A Body of Water in 2021, we aim to provide physical media for bands that rock, for people pushing the boundaries of music and creation in the modern day.
