Nuvolascura is a four-piece screamo band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2015, they released their debut self-titled full-length, Nuvolascura in 2019, followed by As We Suffer From Memory & Imagination in 2020. Even among the leading figures of modern screamo, Nuvolascura remain a uniquely inscrutable act, refusing to provide the typical peace offerings of post-rock expanse, metalcore musculature, or clean vocal melody. The 21 minutes of As We Suffer From Memory and Imagination are split into 13 tracks, but they might easily have been broken down into twice as many. Songs that last barely 100 seconds still function as collage, flipping the smallest possible fragments of math-y dissonance, ascetic post-hardcore, technical metal, and caustic Midwestern emo before moving onto the next riff. Almost none of it follows a typical song structure. Instead, their songs play out like cinematic knife fights—fluid, intuitive, and carefully scripted in ways that defy comprehension. The carnivalesque tapping riffs of “Pixel Vision Anxiety” might be their very own Kill Bill: a celebration of hyperbolic, stylized brutality. Band members are Erica, Taylor, Dom, & Daniel. https://nuvolascura.bandcamp.com
