Nova Scotian quartet Nap Eyes have the right stuff: eclectic and clattering rock & roll moves, a distinct zone, and best of all, sly and quixotic lyrics. On their latest, 2024's The Neon Gate, songwriter Nigel Chapman manages to pull in nods to Nintendo 64 games, Russian poets, French filmmaker Chris Marker, and Goo Goo Dolls megahits, resulting in a work that feels real and lived in in a way that so many of their indie rock contemporaries fail to achieve. For their second Lagniappe Session, they cover Kathy Heideman and The Tragically Hip.
