nudista is the alt-folk / americana project from duo Pilar and Robbie. Meeting whilst studying at University in London, nudista were drawn together over a mutual love of Yo La Tengo, Mazzy Star and Neil Young. Before the formation of nudista, Robbie had been in and out of various bands from his teens, all the way through university, which has undoubtedly contributed to the band’s eclectic range of styles. Growing up in Spain, Pilar doesn’t discount the impact that her motherland has had on nudista’s sonic landscape: ‘Being away from Spain has made me appreciate my heritage and traditional Spanish music, which I love. Our first recordings as a band were done in Madrid and we’ve played a few shows there so we have a very special relationship with Spain.’ 
 nudista encompass innocence and a dreamlike state - standing in an ether between everpresence and distraction. Dropping their debut EP Halfway Here, the EP is an observation of how the band think they function, sometimes present and sometimes not. Written and recorded during the pandemic, Pilar states that the songs stand as ‘a kind of processing tool, about being forced to be ‘okay’ all the time, and having to disguise our anxieties in our daily lives.' 
 ‘No one really knows what they are doing. We are all kind of improvising and accepting all of these strange rules that we all need to follow just because we are alive.'
