Nyx is the moniker of Los Angeles-based, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Angelica Tavella, who after spending the Summer of 2014 in Oakland, CA working closely with producer Jeff Saltzman has released her first Synth-Folk EP entitled 'Showdown'. Playing all of the instruments on the EP from drums, to modular synthesizers, to guitars and vocals, Tavella's unique songwriting takes a new direction from her previous folk-driven music background, drawing emotive influences from the likes of St. Vincent's Annie Clark to Jeff Buckley to create her own solitary sound.
