Not Old Memories Only Sound 🎸 “Crack It Open” Review

🎸 N.O.M.O.S. Brings Raw Energy to Alternative Music

Not Old Memories Only Sound (N.O.M.O.S.) is the collaborative project of Alex and Letícia, a husband-and-wife duo based in Brasília, Brazil. Together, they craft a sound that bridges the visceral energy of ’90s grunge and post-grunge with the atmospheric textures of modern grungegaze.

Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Garbage, and contemporary favourites Softcult, N.O.M.O.S. channels raw emotion through loud, melodic, and unapologetically direct songwriting. Their chemistry as both creative and life partners fuels a distinctive artistic vision that is as immediate as it is immersive, positioning them as an exciting voice emerging from Brazil’s alternative music scene.

Song’s review

🎵 Not Old Memories Only Sound Delivers New Music

The second start on “Crack It Open” is where the fuzz peels have returned just enough to allow the melody to breathe, and where the Not Old Memories Only Sound clearly points their hand. The Brasilia-based duo rely on legitimate forms that feel drawn from perfectly worn cassettes and in one way or another modern now — grunge-soaked guitars, shoegaze haze, and a rhythm section that never lets noise swallow the song Trip-hop shadows and industrial grit slip on the rims It is found that it delays beyond its runtime.

What works is moderation. The vocals sit within the mix to fight against it, letting the atmosphere do as great storytelling since the song itself. It’s the look of the screen that rewards a noisy room and an amazing pair of headphones alike. As the primary interest on their upcoming album, “Crack It Open” doesn’t try to overexplain itself — it just begs to be felt, and that confidence is what makes it stick
