While sharing similar musical elements and a complementary sound, Naysa doesn\u2019t sound like either band. More like a mix of 90s grunge attitude, 80s college rock and 60s garage rawness. \u00a0Self-described as gloomy pop rock with gloom as the major influence, Naysa\u2019s sound is not so much gloomy as it is melancholic and resigned. There are very few instances that warrant profanity, but the leadoff track \u201cSink\/Swim\u201d is one. The last line, \u201cShe had to fucking sink\u201d drives the song\u2019s message home in a way a milder phrase could not. \u201cMaybe I Do,\u201d a tasty garage pop ditty awash in layers of noise has the same charm as The Pixies\u2019 \u201cHere Comes Your Man\u201d or \u201cLa La Love You.\u201d With only four songs lasting twelve minutes, the EP leaves you wanting more.
