*2025 stock* We’re beyond thrilled to present ükya, the first band ever on our label which does not feature any member from Nakama! Ah, how we delight in the smell, taste and – not least – sounds of fresh blood! Jokes aside – we still consider them family, as two of them have attended The Nacademy in the past. ükya (always written with a small ü) is an up and coming Norwegian trio playing music in the field of improvised and open form music. Dangerous as individuals, lethal as a band!

We Come for an Experience of Presence, is the result of a successful studio day in April 2022. The album represents the band’s musical beginning and simultaneously the foundation for what is yet to come. ükya works with conceptions around just intonation, European art music, minimalism, jazz and British improvisational music. This results in a contemporary reflection of free form and a rigorous organization of sound in a lyrical and energetic wrapping.
