The award-winning Edinburgh-based duo No Windows fuse DIY, folk and classic pop on their second EP Point Nemo, set to be released on 3 May by Fat Possum. Taking its name from the location farthest away from land in the world, the five track EP evokes wintry isolation, and marks a significant step forward for the duo, taking inspiration from the expansive sound-worlds of Elliott Smith and Cocteau Twins, their Scottish peers Cloth and Jacob Alon, and a shared musical curiosity that is all their own.

The effortless musical chemistry of No Windows comes from the tight relationship at its core. Vocalist Verity Slangen and multi-instrumentalist Morgan Morris met as young teenagers at school in Edinburgh, after Morgan came across Verity – in the year above – who shared videos online of her singing. They quickly established a friendship and an artistic bond, with Verity adding her emotionally-charged lyrics to Morgan’s bedroom recordings. In December 2022, their debut EP Fish Boy was released; a public introduction to their strong songwriting and intricate, fuzz-pop arrangements, followed by live appearances including the 2022 Connect festival.

2024 is set to be an important year for No Windows, with the release of Point Nemo, their first video release, and live appearances including The Great Escape and their debut Glasgow headline show at the legendary King Tuts venue. The most important work will be going on behind the scenes though, as Verity and Morgan continue to evolve their sound and make good on their significant artistic promise.
