Album Notes

The Nyquist Frequency is a collection of musicians and friends headed by songwriter, singer, and instrumentalist Keith Nyquist. Elephant Art is their debut album. It’s a 70s-soaked indie pop treat best heard on headphones, but any stereo will do.

Recorded in a home studio in The Frequency’s hometown of DeKalb, Illinois, Elephant Art draws heavily from a small universe of sounds and sources, but once sewn together the songs all bear The Nyquist Frequency’s signature sound.

Here’s what some critics have had to say so far:

“A casual observer looking at the cover of this record will probably conclude that the Nyquist are an arty farty bunch of lo-fi noodlers, which couldn't be further from the music contained on this record […] The NF are always ringing the changes on this excellent debut. Some of the songs grab you straight away, others are real growers -- so ignore the cover and get hold of a copy of this excellent record before you forget.”
Americana UK, December 17, 2006

“…the perfect specimen of pure pop-tastic indie at its finest. Oh the joy! The excitement! The fission of pleasure that runs through your body at the sound of jangly guitars and uplifting harmonies! […] Here is an album that begs to be heard, from the deep, reverberating guitars of 'Parsifal Saturday Nights' to the saccharine-covered pop of 'Sunset' and promises to make the secret indie kid inside you squeal with delight.”
