Night In Athens

Night In Athens (NIA) is the dark synth solo project of Greek artist Tina Boleti, launched during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 from her East London room. Boleti emerged from the DIY London punk scene where she had been a keyboardist in various bands, including the post-punk group HAXON. Drawing on dark-wave, cold-wave, and punk influences, NIA's debut EP "Metropolis" arrived in 2021, followed by the album "Crime Seen" (2022) and the full-length "Wasted Reflektions" on Danse Macabre Records. NIA's sound is characterized by unsettling vocals layered over analog synth textures that blend minimal synth, electroclash, and synthwave. The music explores sociopolitical decay and the corruption festering within the human condition. In less than two years, NIA performed over 40 gigs across Europe, supporting acts like Covenant, Buzz Kull, Kontravoid, and Harsh Symmetry. The video for "Words Unspoken" surpassed 250,000 views on YouTube.
