Nova

Mat Kerekes pulled Nova, the title of his upcoming solo LP, from two places: an early 2000s PC game and the state where he’s living. He’s been splitting time between his hometown Toledo, Ohio and Woodbridge in north Virginia—NoVa to locals. A rerelease of the fantasy hack-and-slash game Diablo 2 brought the second iteration with a character’s special attack called ‘frost nova.’ The stars had aligned: Nova would be the next record.

Also available on Bandcamp.
