Nap Eyes is a Canadian indie rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia.[1] The band consists of vocalist Nigel Chapman, guitarist Brad Loughead, bassist Josh Salter and drummer Seamus Dalton.[2]
Formed in 2011 when Salter and Dalton joined Chapman's existing solo project The Mighty Northumberland,[2] the band released its debut album Whine of the Mystic independently in 2014.[1] The album was rereleased in 2015 on You've Changed Records in Canada and Paradise of Bachelors in the United States.[1]
The band's second album, Thought Rock Fish Scale, was released in 2016 on both labels.[3] The album was supported by a concert tour of dates in both Canada and the United States,[4] an appearance on CBC Radio's Q[4] and a followup tour of select dates in Europe.[5] In June 2016, the album was named to the longlist for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize.[5]
