"Psych-folk reactions to Greece's economic crisis - Four years ago, with the Greekadelia album, Kristi Stassinopoulou and Stathis Kalyviotis shook up their country's folk scene by matching the traditional lauto lute against electronica and samples. Now they apply the same technique to their own songs, written in response to their country's continuing economic crisis".

"Nyn offers a satisfying halway house between the stripped down solo duo album (...) and [Stassinopoulou's] earlier full band recordings. This is psychedelic folk-rock of a singular and regionally specific kind. Stassinopoulou's pure voice is set to a shifting palate of backings and tempos, at times almost hymn-like, at others all punky psych rock. Kalyviotis uses loops and samples as a part of theoverall sound, blending in with the live instruments ... The lyrics address the current situation in their homeland. "Seize the day, not rue the last" is their message".
